The city is also known as the spiritual and political center of the Turkic-speaking people in the XVI-XVIII centuries as well as was the capital of the Kazakh Khanate. Turkestan got the international reputation due to proselytization activity of the famous Sufi sheikh and philosopher Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. He was buried in a small mausoleum here in 1166. The mausoleum was erected after 233 years after his death by the order of an outstanding military leader Emir Tamerlane. Nowadays it became a masterpiece of medieval architecture as well as the main place of worship for Muslims. According to legend, attempts to build a wall of the mausoleum failed saying that it was destroyed by the big storm, in another version says that it was a green bull who came and ruined everything. Tamerlan saw a dream where a saint said that at first you ought to build a mausoleum over the grave of Arystan Bab (teacher and spiritual mentor of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi). After that he did it over the tomb of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi. There are a lot of pilgrims visit the mausoleum of Arystan Bab, and then Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi.
