it is covered with cracks and is porous. Stalactites including a passage from the quadrangular foundation to the cupola are determining details of the interior. For showing their dominating importance in the interior of the mausoleum it is enough to show that heights of stalactite band reach to approximately 4 meters (3,88). Due to their large cells, stalactites are perceived as constructive elements of the building at first sight. Heights of the first raw of stalactites is 1,87 meters, but the second is 1,7 meters. There is a cupola on the upper stalactite band, which has a conical shape from the inner side. The whole surface of the walls and stalactites is covered with plaster, except the lower part which is covered with glazed plates. Interior of the mausoleum amazes with its greatness. Such an impression is related to the general scale of divisions and especially a trumpet arch of stalactites. The northern wing of the mausoleum is undoubtedly a later annex. It is apparent not only from the whole plan of the building, with which this annex is not harmonized compositionally, but also from the fact that the walls of the annex are only attached to the wall of the mausoleum and are not its continuation.
