Bibi-Khanym Mosque, Samarkand

Construction of the Bibi-Khanym Mosque was started by Tamerlane in 1399, and in the 15th century it was one of the largest and most magnificent mosques in the Islamic world. By the mid-20th century only a grandiose ruin of it still survived, but now major parts of the mosque have been restored.
