The Bibi Khanum Mosque in Samarqand: Its Mongol and Timurid Architecture

Description

The great imperial ruler Timur1(r. 1370–1405), one of the few mortals to give their name to an architectural style, embodies the epitome of Eurasian identity. Through political and military activity Timur created a vast empire that extended from India to Anatolia in the fourteenth-fifteenth centuries. He chose Samarqand, “the city of domes” and important trading hub along the Silk Road, as his capital.
