Sultanate architecture

Sultanate architecture refers to the distinctive style of building developed during the rule of sultans in medieval Islamic regions. It combines Persian, Indian, and Central Asian influences, featuring grand mosques, fortresses, palaces, and tombs. Characterized by large domes, intricate decorations, expansive courtyards, and ornate tile work, these structures emphasize both aesthetic beauty and functional space for religious and political purposes. The architecture often demonstrates technological innovation in construction and reflects the cultural unity and artistic expression of the Sultanate period.
