Mausoleum of Khoja Amin

Namangan is home to the most interesting monument of the past, the mausoleum of Khoja Amin. According to legends, Amin Khoja, the heir of one of the most famous Tashkent sheikhs Shaikhantaur, is buried in the mausoleum.

The facade and dome of the mausoleum were built around the second half of the 18th century. The craftsmen used traditional styles of Central Asian architecture to create it. After some time, the mosque was completed, but, unfortunately, only part of the mosque and part of the mausoleum have survived to this day.

A fragment from the Koran (2255) is carved on the pylon of the portal.  On the turrets of the portal there are five belts of inscriptions of the formula (creed of faith), as well as fragments from the Koran in the following order (starting from the top) 1. After the "Basmallah" formula of monotheism; 2. The same; 3. The Koran, 112; 4. fragment from Surah Al-Anbiya the Prophets (2187)
