Day 6:. SITORI-I-MOKHI KHOSA


   Good afternoon my dears ☺️☺️☺️☺️✨✨✨


Our today's trip to Sitora-i Mohi xossa, luxurious palace of Bukhara Emirates 

      

Sitori-i-Mokhi Khosa (or Sitorai) is the Summer Palace of the last emirs of Bukhara located just 4 km north from the city center. It is a charming place that shows the luxurious lifestyle that the emirs were enjoying in their time. If you have seen any European historical palaces you will feel there is something similar in this place but at the same time also something very Eastern oriental mixed with it. It is one of the examples of the economic and cultural upsurge that took place in Uzbekistan in the late 19th and early 20th centuries which coincided with an increased interest in European art. Under this European influence, a new artistic style blending Western and Eastern themes developed here, growing particularly prominent in the field of design.


The construction of the palace was initiated by the third-to-last Emir of Bukhara, Nasrullah Khan in the 19th century. Nasrullah Khan was a mad and cruel khan, but he loved his wife sincerely. The palace was designed for the wife of the emir named Sitora-bony. Nasrullah Khan sent delegation of Bukharan architects to St. Petersburg (which explains the similarities) and Yalta to get familiarized with new forms of architecture to implement it here. Well-known Bukharan craftsmen and Russian engineers established the palace whose architecture, decor and layout harmoniously combine European tradition with the local inclination towards monumental and decorative art. However, his wife died in childbirth nut he still named the palace after her. He compared the beauty of her wife to the moon, therefore it became Sitora-i-Mokhi Saroy, the palace of a star like a moon.
