Mausoleum of Amir 'Abd al-Rahman.  Kabul, Afghanistan

In the late 19th century, Amir Abdur Rahman Khan commissioned a garden pavilion which, after his death in 1901, was transformed by his heir, Habibullah Khan, into a mausoleum. Since the mid-1990s, the building was used as an office for the Department of Historic Monuments who, in 2003, requested the Aga Khan Trust for Culture’s support in conserving the mausoleum, which had water penetrating into its roofs.
