The cathedral mosque of Samarkand was named after the oldest wife of Amir Timur, Bibi-Khanym. Bibi-Khanym Mosque was constructed to mimic the design of the Amir Timur cathedral mosque of Samarkand. It was intended to out-rival everything he had ever seen. Architects, artists and craftsmen from conquered countries were involved in the construction of this grandiose complex. Its arch was flanked with powerful pylons, with minarets up to 50m in height.
