Zangiata
The mausoleums of
Zangiata - Sufi, who was very
popular in Tashkent, and of his wife
Ambar bibi - were conceivably built
by Tamerlane in the nineties the
14th century. The real name of
Zangiata was Sheikh Ay-Khodja. The
nickname Zangiata means "black". He
came from the family of descendants
of Khazret Arslan bobo; and also he
was the fifth "murid" of Sufi Khodja
Ahmad Yassavi considered as a
spiritual forefather of all Turkic
tribes of Central Asia and
Kazakhstan. The mausoleum complex
consist of the following: mosque
Namazgoh (1870); minaret
(1914-1915); mausoleum of Zangiata;
courtyard with living cells - hujras
of former madrasah (18th - 19th c.);
cemetery and mausoleum of Ambar bibi
on it.
