Uch Avliyo Mausoleum

Uch Avliyo means "three saints": the tomb stands over the graves of three holy elders, named in the Uzbek encyclopedia as the sheikhs Boqi, Maqsud and Latif. The carved door bears the date 1561 (969 AH) and the names of the Khivan carvers, and a marble plaque records repairs in 1821–1822, when an ayvon was also added in front.

The square domed room, about six metres across, is almost bare, with six raised graves under an arch; its only real decoration is the wooden door. Half-buried by the cemetery around it, it was cleared and restored after 1957 and now faces an open square framed by Tash-Hauli, the Muhammad Amin Inaq madrasa and the Dost Alam madrasa.
