Memorial complex of the Chor Bakr

Hi guys 🤠.Today was our first day of practice. And we went to the Chor Bakr. Now I'm going to talk about this place. The complex Chor-Bakr contains the mosque, khanaka (Sufi cloister), madrasah, necropolis and a big orchard near Bukhara. Today the orchard abounds in planes, willows, poplars and different fruit trees – peaches, apple, pears, vineyards, flower gardens of roses. From the city gates to the garden for five kilometers along the road on both sides the canals, lined with trees, were dug. So Abdullah Khan, heading into Chor-Bakr Necropolis, was always in the shadow


The facade walls of fencing and portals of Chor-Bakr Necropolis are decorated with figure masonry and mosaic inherent to those times. The south-eastern entrance is marked with portal and dome darvazakhana (confidential room). From here the viewpoint of ensemble is opening. The monument has perfect shapes and details. The halls of the mosque and khanaka are overlapped with cupolas. The interior is decorated with crossing arches, web of grid pendentives and stalactites.


In the XX century a small minaret, resembling Kalyan in Bukhara, was attached to the main Chor-Bakr complex in Bukhara.



The architectural ensemble Chor-Bakr is also known as “town of deads”. It has streets, yards, gates, but instead of houses there are family dakhmas (burial places) and gravestones. On both sides of the street you can see the necropolis entrance portals funerary mosques and iwans (vaulted rooms).

Hi everyone! 🤗 Today our second day of practice and we went to the Chor Minor. 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 Centre 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.
