From the 13th century, a large part of Asia was ruled by descendants from the great Mongol conqueror Genghis Khan. The European continent was considered the territory of this great empire, starting from Rome to China. During this period, along with the expansion of trade relations between East and West, artists and ideas about art began to flow to the West. Many of Genghis Khan’s successors in West Asia converted to Islam. These were the Golden Horde in Southern Russia, the Chagatai in Khwarazm, and the İlkhanats (Hulagus) in Azerbaijan. The territories of the İlkhanate state stretched from the Iranian bridge to Derbent and from the Amur River to Egypt. The most important country was Azerbaijan. As a result of the relocation of the capital of the İlkhanats state to Tabriz and the implementation of a number of reforms by Kazan khan, the planning of cities was expanded. Monumental buildings were erected to show the grandeur of the İlkhanats period. New architectural types and constructions were created in the monumental buildings, continuing the local traditions of the past. Juicy bricks and colored tiles were preferred as facing materials in the construction. Writing patterns began to dominate the decorations of the buildings.
