The Aisha-Bibi (ancient moon-princess) is an 11th century mausoleum for a Uyghur noble woman located in the village of Aisha Bibi, 18km west of Taraz on the silk road. It has become famous as monument to love and faithfulness. Under a legend, the mausoleum was built by one of the rulers belonging to the Karakhanid dynasty on the grave site of his beautiful fiancée Aisha-Bibi, who was a daughter of Sufi poet Khakim-Ata. Perfectly matching the legend, the mausoleum looks unbelievably light, well-proportioned and delicate. The mausoleum’s architectural forms and decoration are reminiscent of fine lace. The whole building is covered with carved terracotta tiles using 60 different floral geometric patterns and stylized calligraphy. The Callipgrahy tells of the beauty of Aisha Bibi and speaks of love in general. One of the old distichs from a corner tower reads: “ Autumn... Clouds... The Earth is beautiful”. Women pray for children and a happy family here to the present day. Wedding Parties also venerate this mausoleum together with KharaKhan Mausoleum to have their union blessed by the dead lovers. 10 meters away from the Aisha Bibi is a second Mausoleum called Babaji Khatun("wise queen"), and across the road is a sacred limestone caveren. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ayshah bibi"
