Among villas and orchards uptown, the ancient necropolis is hidden behind pakhsa fences. It developed around the tomb of the Arabian lawyer Khodja Abdal-Maz ad-Din (died in 861) from the Arab clan Abdi. In the 9th century, Khodja Abdal-Maz ad-Din was Samarkand qazi. The basis of his mausoleum with a tent-shaped dome can be related to the 12th century. Construction of the first mausoleum is connected with Samarkand Qarakhanids and sultan Sandjar. At the first half of the 15th century, in days of Ulugbeg, the mausoleum was added by ziaratkhana looking on the yard with ancient hauz. Ghirikhs and inscriptions from glazed bricks decorate the portal and drum of the external dome. On the cylindric drum of the lost external dome, there are fragments of some inscription in Sulth. At two edges of the yard, on ancient basements there are structures of 1908-1909, built by Samarkand masters Abdukadir-Khodja, Siddik, Abduzahid, Abdugani and Hasan-khan. The mosque walls are decorated by carved ganch with floral motifs on painted background. The ceiling exposes paintings in Samarkand style. The gates, from which the fenced path leads to the necropolis, were installed at the same time. The mausoleum is surrounded by family dahmas of the 15th century, coated by hewn and glazed bricks. At the adjoining cemetery there are marble gravestones of the 15th -17th centuries with epigraphic and stylized floral carving.
