The formation of a regional identity is a very important cultural and socio-political trend in the formation of an independent state. Against the background of the acculturation of the Soviet period, in post-Soviet conditions there is a search for the origins of the traditional spiritual and material culture of Kazakhstan. From this perspective, one of the most famous architectural monuments of Central Asia is of great interest – the Mausoleum of Khoja Akhmed Yassavi in the city of Turkestan. The architecture of the mausoleum reflects the local traditions of formation and has become a source of inspiration for architects of different periods. The article analyses the cultural and historical significance of the mausoleum and its role in the formation of regional identity in the modern architecture of Kazakhstan.
