MAUSOLEUM OF MANAS

The mausoleum has a very classical form: a brick cube supporting a pointed roof. The building dates back to the ^14th century, as evidenced by the arrangement of the bricks, which form a network of geometric decorations quite common at the time. The remains of the famous storyteller are believed to lie beneath the mausoleum's foundations. In addition to the mausoleum itself, visitors can wander around the battle site and visit the large museum dedicated to the most famous of Kyrgyz epics. In summer, equestrian games are frequently held near the mausoleum.
