The Sheikh Muslihiddin mausoleum is found in the historical city center in Khujand. It is a large religious complex named after the city’s famous 12th-century poet and ruler, Muslihiddin Khujandi. He was revered as a holy man capable of performing miracles. When he died, he was buried in a suburb of the city. In later years, his followers moved his ashes to Khujand and built a mausoleum over his tomb. In addition to the mausoleum, the complex currently contains a cathedral mosque and a 19th-century minaret that is over 20m tall. The mausoleum can be found on Khujand’s main square across the street from the massive Panjshanbe Market.
