Mag'oki Attor

Good morning 🌞❤️🌄 Welcome to my blog!!! Let's start!!!  Our last destination is Mag'oki Attor memorial complex. We have taken a lot of photos and selfiesas a sweet memory. Magoki-Attori Mosque, Bukhara The Magoki-Attori Mosque in the city's centre is an example of an urban mosque in a residential quarter. The mosque was built on the site of the pre-lslamic Moh temple mentioned above. Excavations have revealed the fact that even under the Samanids there was a six-pier mosque, which apparently was also domed. However, it was rebuilt substantially in the twelfth century; the floor level was upgraded and the main facade received a new design that survives with little damage only. By the sixteenth century, the thickness of cultural layers had increased so much that mosque seemed to sink deep into the soil and its facade was unearthed only as a result of excavations carried out in the 1930s. The facade of the mosque is asymmetrical. To the right it has a portal with a recessed ...

Toqi Zargaron

Image
 Good morning 🌞❤️🌄 Welcome to my blog!!! Today is Wednesday, the eighth day of our practice session. We have visited to Toqi Zargaron. The Tak-i Zargaron is a multiple dome-covered market located at the intersection of the primary east-west and north-south streets of Bukhara's center city (Shahristan). The largest and best preserved of Bukhara's once numerous crossroad markets (chorsu), its name translates to "The Dome of Jewelers or Goldsmiths", which conflicts with its traditional function as a textile market. Although no single patron or inaugural date is recorded, passages in Arab historian Zain- ud Din Wofisi's (1485-1551) 'Badaye' al-Vaqaye' suggest an early sixteenth century date under Timurid instead of the popularly believed Shaybanid patronage. Domed crossroad markets were popularly called "Taks" (arch) referring to their characteristic vaulted shell structures. The pivotal role of "tak"s in sustaining Bukhara's emin...

Turki Jandiy

Image
Hello everyone 🤩🤩🤩 Our next destination is the complex  of Tirki Jandiy. With our teacher Dilnoza Ilhomovna and two groups , we have visited to the memorial complex on Monday. This unrestored mausoleum lies just south of the city's main tourist zone, on the east side of Nomozgokh Street which leads eventually to the Namazgah Mosque. The exact age of the structure is uncertain, but Badr and Tupev note that unpublished excavation reports from 1971-72 suggest the current edifice was constructed in the mid-16th century, with evidence of three other building periods, two earlier and one later. From an architectural perspective the building's prominent dome set upon a tall drum is indicative of Timurid-era architecture and recalls the Mir-i-Arab Madrassa (likely a contemporary structure) and the far earlier Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum in Samarkand (c. 1403-04). The interior of the mausoleum is unfortunately off-limits to visitors due to its poor structural condition—the main dome is crac...
