Magoki Attari Mosque

 

Yesterday, we went to the Magoki Attari mosque. There are some informations about the mosque.
The most ancient preserved Bukhara mosque Magoki Aftari ( in translation means " the mosque in the pit " , " deep mosque " ) is situated in the center of the city , near the Lyabi Hauz complex . Before the Arabian conquest , trade market for spices and herbs sellers ( the attars ) was established at the site of the mosque . Considerable reconstruction of the monument is attributed to the 12th century when the main facade of the mosque -being the masterpiece of the architectural décor , was encased all over again . In the 16th century this was a small block mosque.

The Magoki Attari Mosque is attributed to the type of so - called closed mosques , with the ceiling on six stone pillars . In 1930 under the layers of soil the southern portal of the mosque was discovered , demonstrating its unique omamental brick masonry and archaistic ornaments of curvy majolica . Restorers cleared up the facade which went down into the soil to a depth of 4.5 metres and reproduced the opportunity to view the main artistic view of the mosque . The whole variety of its architectural décor the curvaceous masonry of a glazed bricks which create different combinations , patterns , ornaments , terracotta plates , partially spray terracotta is organically combined in the decoration of the portal niche . This 12th century portal is considered to be one of the most ideal objects of Bukhara architecture.

So, I really liked this place.

  Hi guys!!! Today we went to the Ismail Samaniy monument .We learned about its history.We got a lot of information.  The Samanid Mausoleum is a mausoleum located in the northwestern part of Bukhara, Uzbekistan, just outside its historic center. It was built in the 10th century CE as the resting place of the powerful and influential Islamic Samanid dynasty that ruled the Samanid Empire from approximately 900 to 1000. It contained three burials, one of whom is known to have been that of Nasr II.  It  is known as the oldest funerary building of Central Asian architecture.The Samanids established their de facto independence from the Abbasid Caliphate in Baghdad and ruled over parts of modern Afghanistan, Iran, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan.

 Hi everyone! Today we went to the Mir-Arab madrasah. We learn a lot of information about this building. Now I give some of them. There are two big blue domes of the Miri-Arab madrasah towering above the surrounding buildings in the center of Bukhara. Along with the Kalyan mosque and minaret, this religious educational establishment forms the whole ensemble Poi-Kalyan that is the spiritual center of the city. Construction of the Miri-Arab madrasah dates back to the 16th century and is related to the sheikh Abdallah Yamani (from Yemen), the spiritual pir (guide) of sheybanids. The exact date of the beginning of the construction is still unknown. According to one version, scientists believe that the building was erected in the period of 1530-1535/1536. The other version states, that the madrasah was built to celebrate the victory of the sheybanid army over the troops of the Sefevid shah Ismail I in the battle of Gijduvan in 1512. It is also supposed that the final construction works were

Nadir Divan-begi Madrasah is a part of the architectural complex located round well-known Lyabi-Hauz in Bukhara.

It was time when governors paid attention not only to constant wars, but also to town-planning. Initially, Nadir Divan-begi ordered to build khanaka (a place for Sufis to reflect and rest), later caravansari was added. However, at the opening ceremony, Imamkuli-khan said that caravansari was built in the glory of the Allah, therefore th
