Shahrisabz UZ - Kok-Gumbaz mosque 09

            Kuk Gumbaz Mosque is an architectural monument located in Shahrisabz, Qashqadaryo Region, Uzbekistan. The mosque was built between 1434 and 1435 by Ulug Beg Mirzo for his father Shah Rukh Mirzo. Historical inscriptions with the names of the Timurids and the time of construction have been preserved in the porch of the mosque.

Kuk Gumbaz Mosque is the main mosque in the ensemble of Dorut Tilavat (located in the south of Shahrisabz, near the "Chorsu" shopping complex). It was built on the opposite side of Gumbazi Sayidon Mausoleum and Shamsuddin Kulol Mausoleum.

The dome of the mosque is lined with mosaic brick tiles with inscriptions written in the Kufic script. In the middle of the border, verses 1–3 of Surah "Fath" of the Holy Qur'an were written in large white letters on a yellow background. Under the dome of the mosque, the text of the Holy Qur'an "Sura Juma" was written in small letters on a blue background. This part was later repaired.

Mosque has a large dome covered with blue tiles which inspired the mosque's name.
