Though it literally means "green dome", its dome is nowhere green in colour. The dome is blue, and the tower is believed to be built between 1530 and 1535. The tower is an influence of Central Asian architecture. There are blue and yellow tiles on the drum. Moreover, it was used as a police station during British rule.
