Timur Shah inherited a unified Afghan kingdom from his father Ahmed Shah Durrani on 1772, and moved the capital from Kandahar to Kabul. His mausoleum (built in 1816) is an octagonal red brick structure, surmounted by a plain brick drum and shallow dome. A small park surrounds the mausoleum, now denuded of its trees and the site of a cloth market. The mausoleum was damaged during the civil war and is being renovated by the Aga Khan Foundation.
