ARCHITECTURAL COMPLEX SULTAN MIR HAIDAR

This was the site of Kasba, a sogdienne town whose name would come from Kassob, "the good craftsmen." It was known to be very good potters and made the best bricks. At the entrance to the necropolis dedicated to a local branch of the Sayyid dynasty is an impressive sardoba (water reservoir) whose immense vault is still preserved. The mausoleum of Seyd Amir Samsidin was built in the 1491 th century but the stone tombstone dates back to. The summer mosque and the dome mosque were built between the th and th centuries, as well as the minaret for which bricks from the former town of Kasba were used. At the right end of the site, a corrugated sheet construction protects some graves and two beautiful tombstones covered with inscriptions. The whole was restored in secret in the s by the head of the RaïKom, the local prefect, while the zone was forbidden and abandoned. Not far from Kasbi, in the village of Khodja Kharlik, you can also visit the mausoleum and Imam Mohamed Sadir Islam Kabristani mosque.
