Dorut Tilavat

Dor-i-Tilavat (the place where the Qur'an is read and recited) - in the center of Shahrisabz, in the west of the Darussiodat complex, there is a complex consisting of ancient structures belonging to the Timurid dynasty - the tomb of Shamsuddin Kulol, Gumbazi Sayyidon, and the Blue Dome Mosque, built on the site of the old madrasa here.

The mausoleum within the complex, established by Amir Timur, is the final resting place for Shaykh Shamsiddin Kulol, a revered spiritual leader who passed away in 1370.

During archeological research, double walls of the mausoleum were discovered, which confirmed the indication in historical sources that the basis for the tomb of Shamsuddin Kulol was the building of an old mosque of X-XII centuries.

In 1435-1436 Ulugh Beg on behalf of his father Shahruh (according to the inscription on the portal) builds a mosque on the system of "kosh" - opposite Shamsuddin Kulol's mausoleum.

To the right and left of the main room of the building were wings of canopies supported by pillars, which could accommodate a large number of worshippers.

According to Sharaf al-Din Ali Yazdi, the cemetery of Shamsuddin Kulol, as well as the grave of Amirzoda Umarshaykh Mirzon, is also located at this site.

[3] Located in the opposite direction from the mausoleums of Shamsuddin Kulol and Gumbazi Sayidon, the Kok Gumbaz Jami Mosque stands tall.
