Shrines[edit]

The Gozli Ata mausoleum is a brick building with twin white domes and sparsely ornamented walls.^[1] The entrance is designed in the form of pishtak; inside lies Sufi Gözli Ata in a triangular prism coffin of extraordinary length.^[1] The premises contains numerous stone-tombs of Turkmen tribes.^[1] Adjacent to this mausoleum, also lies the ruins of a madrasa and the mausoleum of Bibi Aysulu, who was the wife of Gözli Ata.^[2]
