The ancient fortress of Dehistan was divided into several parts. They were shopping districts and old neighborhoods with houses and a citadel.

In the old district, several mausoleums with caravanserai survived. One of the mausoleums is considered untitled, and the second is called "Shir-Kabir," which was built in the 10th–12th centuries. It also preserved a mosque with minarets, which reaches a height of 25 meters.
