Located 96 km from Ulaanbaatar in Erdene soum, Tuv province, the “13th-Century Complex” spans 88 hectares around Yol Mountain. Constructed in 2006, this vast area was designed to transport visitors back to the 13th century, offering a glimpse into the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongols.
The complex, a major attraction for both local and international tourists, consists of six distinct camps, including the majestic King’s Palace.
Enclosed by 16 walls, the palace stands 8 meters tall, supported by four main pillars and 108 wooden beams. While serving as a venue for events and ceremonies, its design mimics a conference hall of the era, with seats on both sides representing high-ranking officials.
Dates: 2024 (TBC)
In the Mongolian history of the 13th century, almost all men of nomadic central Asia were iron craftsmen. The name Temuujin means “sound of the iron”. The Craftsmen`s camp has iron, art and traditional handmade crafts by cow, sheep and other animal skin.
By visiting this camp you will have an opportunity to learn the unique culture of literacy, Mongolian traditional script, and the traditional way of educating their successors and the young in the 13th century.

More than 10,000 years ago almost at the end of the Stone Age, we started to adapt animals and use their milk, skin, and meat and it’s become a necessity of everyday life. Even today, the life of herders, pastoral culture, the methods of producing dairy products, horse training and processing the leather straps are real nomadic lifestyles. In the XIII century complex, you could experience the real life of the nomadic lifestyle of the 13th century of Mongolia.
