Ulugh Begh and 'Abd al-Razzaq Mausoleum
1460-1502
Timurid
The Mausoleum of Ulugh Begh bin Abu Sa'id, son of Timurid Sultan Abu Sa'id (1459-1469), was erected to the south of old Ghazna, on a hill overlooking the ruined palace of Mas'ud III. Ulugh Beg governed Ghazna and Kabul from 1460 until his death in 1501, while his son and successor 'Abd al-Razzaq was dethroned within a year. The mausoleum was probably built by Ulugh Beg for himself and also houses the remains of 'Abd al-Razzaq who died in 1513/1514
The mausolum has an unusual floor plan.
