Uzgen Museum Complex

Kyrgyzstan


Three restored mausoleums here date to the 11th and early-12th century Karakhanid dynasty, when Uzgen was one of four regional capitals of the empire that stretched across Central Asia. Climbing the dark and winding stairway inside the large minaret nearby, views from the top look out over panoramas of the mausoleum complex and the town's most famous modern export: fields of Uzgen rice.
