Zhuban-Ana

Zhuban-Ana is a domed mausoleum on the right bank of the Sarysu, standing on a rise above the steppe. Built of brick on a square plan, it is traditionally dated to the eleventh century and was revered as the grave of a holy person. Its name was recorded by the Orenburg geographer Pyotr Rychkov in 1762. The tomb belongs to a group of medieval monuments scattered along the rivers of central Kazakhstan.
