About the place
The Sufi sheikh Sayid Allauddin died in 1303, and the domed tomb over his grave, with its glazed majolica gravestone, dates from the first half of the fourteenth century, making it one of the oldest buildings in Khiva. A ziyaratkhona, a room for pilgrims, was added in front of it in the seventeenth century.
Allakuli Khan had the monument thoroughly repaired in 1825. It stands against the east wall of the Matniyaz Divanbegi madrasa, close to the west gate of Itchan Kala.
