 Hi everyone  Today is the third day of our practical week and today's destination is Piridastgir mosque  It is one of the mosques built for praying during Eid festivals. It was built behind the gate of the prayer hall in the southern part of Bukhara by Shams al-Mulk (1068-1080), who ruled Bukhara under the Kara-Khanid dynasty, in the 11th century.[1] It was built in the 11th-16th centuries. The mosque's facade is on the west side, with a mihrab in the center of the mosque, made of baked bricks. The arch is decorated with carved and glazed tiles. The mosque was destroyed and demolished in the 11th century.

The mosque has survived to this day in its rebuilt form. The mihrab of the mosque is decorated with complex geometric patterns, "almonds", and floral motifs. The names of Muhamm...

Chor-Bakr is a memorial complex in the village of Sumitan at 5 km of Bukhara in Uzbekistan, built over the burial place of Abu-Bakr-Said, who died in the year 360 of the Muslim Calendar (970–971 AD), and who was one of the four of Abu-Bakrs (Chor-Bakr) – descendants of Muhammad. The complex includes the necropolis of family tombs, and courtyards enclosed with walls The Chor Bakr Memorial Complex, also known as Sumitan's cemetery, was established by Shaybanid ruler Abdullaxon II in 1559, and it includes a mausoleum, a mosque, a madrasa, and a large courtyard surrounded by high walls.[2][3] In the following centuries, additional buildings were constructed, and the complex was expanded to include adjacent areas.

 Hi everyone  Today is the second day of our practical lesson and we went to Chor minaret with our group and our teacher.  Chor Minor (Char Minar Uzbek: Chor minor), alternatively known as the Madrasah of Khalif Niyaz-kul, is a historic gatehouse for a now-destroyed madrasa in the historic city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. It is located in a lane northeast of the Lyab-i Hauz complex. It is protected as a cultural heritage monument, and also it is a part of the World Heritage Site Historic Center of Bukhara.[1] In Persian, the name of the monument means "four minarets", referring to the building's four towers. The structure was built by Khalif Niyaz-kul, a wealthy Bukharan of Turkmen origin in 1807 under the rule of the Manghit dynasty.[2] The four towered structure is sometimes mistaken for a gate to the madras that once existed behind the structure, however, the Char-Minar is actually a complex of buildings with two functions, ritual and shelter. Originally, it was a part of ...

 Hello. Today we went to the madrasah of Jubori kalon. During the reign of the Uzbek ruler Abdulaziz Khan (1645-1681), it was built in Havzi nav guzar of Joybor district in the capital of the Khanate under the donation of his mother Podshah. It was one of the most prestigious and prestigious madrasahs in Bukhara. Some researchers unjustifiably doubted that this madrasa was built by Potshah Ayim [1] . For example, according to L. Asrorova, the Joybori Kalon madrasa was built by the decree of the governor of Bukhara Abdulaziz Khan during the time of the Uzbek ruler Subhonkulikhon (1680-1702), and it is said that Abdulaziz Khan's mother Oyposhsha Bibi was involved in the construction of the madrasa [10] . Even on the official site of the Joybori Kalon madrasa, it is written that the educational institution was built during the reign of Subhonkulikhon [2] . However, in 1670-1671, when the madrasa was built, Subhonquli Khan was not yet the ruler.

 Hi everyone. Today we went to Sayfiddin caravanserai.  One of such specialized places was Sayfiddin's Caravanserai in Bukhara, built in the XIX century. Caravanserais served as a kind of parking and a shelter for wandering merchants, a place for rest and lodging, the likeness of a modern hotel or motel. Inside, travelers could store their goods in special storage rooms, feed animals in designated pens, have a snack in a teahouse or take a bath. Another special place in a caravanserai was the exchange money point. Sayfiddin’s Caravanserai was considered a state-run and was a place of shelter mainly of rich merchants (bais) engaged in trade in gold, pearls, diamonds and other precious metals. According to that, we can say that in this caravanserai there was a good turnover, which reached about 5,000 rubles a day. Currently, at the entrance to the ancient caravanserai, there are small shops with national souvenirs and handicrafts as a reminder of a once-lively trading place wher...
