The oldest buildings date back to the 11th and 12th centuries. Only the foundations and tombstones remain. The majority of the buildings date from the 14th and 15th centuries. The reconstruction work in the 16th - 19th centuries did not significantly change the shape of the tombs. The main part of the ensemble is the Kussam ibn Abbas complex. It is located in the northeastern part and consists of various buildings. The oldest of these are the Kussam ibn Abbas mausoleum and a mosque from the 16th century (Wikipedia).

The Shahi-Zinda complex includes more than 20 buildings. The ensemble is divided into three groups: lower, middle and upper. The top group consists of three mausoleums. The earliest of them is the Hoja Ahmad Mausoleum.
