In the territory of Samarkand in the XI century, the grave of the cousin of the Prophet Muhammad S.A.V. appears, after which this place is revered as the "Second Mecca", pilgrims have been passing through a narrow street for thousands of centuries to visit the Kusam and Abbas complex, which consists of a mosque, chillahons, ziyarathats and a mausoleum. Ziyarathona is very richly painted, mainly with medallion-shaped patterns, which are a symbol of the cycle of life.

Interesting culture, interesting mausoleums. It's just not clear which parts were restored, and which have been preserved since then. The complex is small, the fee is too high.
