Following the street from the Ulugbek and Abdulazizkhan Madrassahs,
which flows into the labyrinth of narrow,
winding streets of old Bukhara, you will find a monument that is not
as old, but which is
notable for its architecture - the Chor-Minor Madrassah, which was built in 1807 by Khalif
Niazkul. He built the madrassah with a cozy courtyard and a pond, a summer mosque, and a
four-turret building opening into the architectural complex. Char-Minar means "the
four minarets". It draws attention to itself with its unusual architectural
solution, the main focus of which is the four turrets with their sky blue cupolas, which
have nothing in common with ordinary minarets. |
