In Central Asia, Muslim shrines have served as community centers
for centuries, particularly the large urban shrines that seem, in
many cases, to have served as the inspiration as well for a city's
architectural development. In Four Central Asian Shrines: A
Socio-Political History of Architecture R. D. McChesney documents
the histories of four such long-standing shrines-Gur-i Mir at
Samarqand, Khwajah Abu Nasr Parsa Mazar at Balkh, the Noble Rawzah
at Mazar-i Sharif, and the Khirqat al-Nabi at Qandahar. In all four
cases the creation and evolution of the architecture of these
shrines is traced through narratives about their social and
political histories and in the past century and a half, through the
photographic record.
