Silk Road: main historical landmarks of Taraz

Taraz is steeped in the spirit of the ancient Silk Road, offering history enthusiasts a wealth of fascinating sites. Here's a selection of 10 must-visit landmarks in the city.


Mausoleum of Aisha-Bibi

Located just 18 kilometers from Taraz, this mausoleum is believed to have been built in honor of the beautiful Aisha, the bride of Karakhan, and remains a symbol of eternal love and devotion.


Mausoleum of Babaja-Khatun

Next to Aisha-Bibi, the Mausoleum of Babaja-Khatun is a unique monument dating back to the 11th-12th centuries. Its famous dome is the only one of its kind in Kazakhstan. Dedicated to Aisha's loyal companion, the mausoleum embodies wisdom and devotion.


Mausoleum of Karakhan

The Mausoleum of Karakhan, built in the 11th century, symbolizes the wisdom and grandeur of the Karakhanid era. It is considered one of the city's most important historical landmarks.


Tortkul Caravanserai

The caravanserai, an ancient equivalent of a hotel for caravans with camel parking, is located in the private sector along the main highway in Taraz. Today, it houses a museum dedicated to the daily life of caravan traders who transported goods across Central Asia.


Aqyrtas

Located 40 kilometers from Taraz, the mysterious architectural complex Aqyrtas dates back to the 8th-9th centuries. Scholars still debate its purpose: was it a palace, a temple, or a caravanserai?


Köne Taraz archaeological park

One of the city's key attractions is the excavation of ancient Taraz, over a thousand years old. Discovered a few years ago beneath the old market, it was later relocated to create an open-air museum.


Zhambyl regional history and local lore museum

This museum is a must-visit to see rare exhibits ranging from ancient ceramics to items used by nomadic peoples.


Talas river

The quiet, peaceful Talas River takes visitors back in time. It was once a key part of the Silk Road. Today, it is a popular spot for walks, fishing, and picnics.


Mausoleum of Tekturmas

This modern complex, resembling a medieval fortress, offers insight into Taraz's ancient history. It features a statue of Auliye-ata Karakhan, the ruler of the Karakhanid dynasty, whose kingdom made Taraz the capital in the 11th-12th centuries.


Kali-Yunus Bathhouse

Built at the end of the 19th century, this bathhouse offers a unique glimpse into the world of medieval Eastern baths. It is named after the respected city figure Kali-Yunus, who initiated and financed its construction.
