Shah fazil Mausoleum
The Shah Fazil Mausoleum is located in the Jalal- Abad region in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. This architectural complex of cult structures of the Karakanid epoch in the 11th century combines monuments belonging to different eras.
The site includes the sacred mountain Archa- Mazar and monuments from the Bronze Age of the 18th and 19th century. It later included the Holy Hermit Cave and several other mausoleums, including Alamberdar and Safid- Bulent. However, the most significant of these is the mausoleum of Shah Fazil as it is a rare architectural monument. The four walls are all of equal length and the interior richly decorated with ganch carvings.
Up to the mid-20th century, religious festivals and the sacrificing of animals were allowed to be held at the complex. Today, it is still considered as a holy place as pilgrims from Central Asia travel to pray for healing and blessing.
