The middle group consists of the mausoleums of the last quarter of the 14th century - first half of the 15th century and is concerned with the names of Tamerlane's relatives, military and clergy aristocracy. On the western side (in a picture below - firs on the right) the Mausoleum of Shadi Mulk Aga, the niece of Tamerlane, stands out. This portal-domed one-premise crypt was built in 1372. Opposite is the Mausoleum of Shirin Bika Aga, Tamerlane's sister.
