Samarkand — Shah-i Zinda Complex
View from the southeast toward the middle chahar taq. The ribbed dome in the midground to the left belongs to the Amir Zadeh mausoleum. The domed structure to the right is the Shirin Beg Agha mausoleum, before which stand the ruins of the Amir Husayn ibn Tughluq Tekin mausoleum. One of the domes of the anonymous mausoleum III ("Qazizadeh Rumi") is partially visible behind the foreground foliage An approximate settlement centre is shown for Samarkand; the marker is not the camera position.
