The Timurid period (1370–1507) was a foundational age in the history of Central Asian monumental architecture, an age that was marked by outstanding architectural accomplishment and the intersection of Persian, Mongol, and Islamic artistic cultures. This research examines the historical context, cultural significance, and innovative strategies of Timurid architecture and its legacy in the architectural identity of the region. The article addresses some of the most important monuments, including the Gur-e Amir Mausoleum and Registan Square, and the technological innovation in the form of construction materials, tile decoration, and space planning. The article also addresses the political and economic reasons why Timurid rulers commissioned these buildings and what impact these structures had on later architectural developments within the Mughal, Ottoman, and Safavid empires. By re-evaluating Timurid architectural legacy, this study highlights its ongoing impact on historical and modern architectural thought.
