The largest city in the Afghan Turkestan region in northern Afghanistan, and the capital of Balkh Province. Population 128,000 (1990). In the 15th century, during the reign of Sultan Husayn (1470-1506) of the Timurid dynasty, the tomb of the fourth caliph (first Shiite imam) Ali was discovered here, and a mausoleum was built. This tomb was called Mazar-i-Sharif (Tomb of the Saint), and became a place of pilgrimage for both Sunni and Shiite believers. A temple town developed around the tomb, and it replaced Balkh.
