Situated in Samarkand, Uzbekistan, this monumental landmark was constructed in the 14th century under Timur’s commission. Massive brick walls are adorned with intricate tilework, geometric motifs and ancient calligraphy, crowned by its iconic ribbed turquoise dome. Though parts of the structure show clear signs of centuries‑old wear, the scale and craftsmanship still reveal the breathtaking power of Timurid architecture. Photography tip: Shooting from a low angle helps emphasize the immense height of the dome against the vivid blue sky. #BibiKhanymMosque #Samarkand #UzbekistanTravel - @kelseywillow4
