TheShakh Fazil Archaeological Complex is located in the villageSafedbulan,Jalal-Abad Region ofKyrgyzstan. It is a sacred Muslim site, and an annual masspilgrimage occurs here. The name of the main building in many scholarly sources is the Tomb of Shah Fadl, and this is a major Qarakhanid tomb probably built between 1050–1060.
The collection of sites is made up of the Shakh FazilMausoleum,Safed-Bulan Mausoleum, the holy mountain of Archa Mazar, Alamberdar Mausoleum, holy hermit's cave, an 18th/19th-centuryMosque, and vertical stonephallos.[1] The mausoleum of Shakh Fazil, the most important site in the collection, is unique in its own right and stands apart from otherKarakhanid-era mausolea.
This site was added as an individual entry to theUNESCOWorld Heritage Tentative List of Kyrgyzstan on January 29, 2001 in the Cultural category.[1] The individual enty was removed from the list in 2010, and Shakh Fazil was instead included in the serial entry "Silk Roads Sites in Kyrgyzstan".[2]
