Dome Sarafan

 Hi!😀 it's my blog and I want to share some info about dome sarafan.


So In the place where a couple of streets intersect, connecting the city center with the medieval suburbs (Registan and Rabat), the majestic Taki-Sarrafon is located.  The structure was given this name in honor of the Sarrafs - money changers.  Traditionally, the Hindus were engaged in the exchange of currencies of different states. 

 


The main part of the structure - a huge dome - is located on four large arches, and various buildings surround this structure from all sides. Arched vaults are interesting because they are made in a unique architectural style. The method of decorating them is called "charzamin", and this method of decoration is typical for Bukhara. 


Of course, the modern dome does not gather currency traders next to it, but an unimaginable amount of souvenirs traditional for the East is collected here. Travelers will find here bright carpets, patterned skullcaps, and original jewelry

Kukeldash Madrasah,

 In Bukhara, near the famous historical complex Lyab-i Hauz, the well-known architectural monument Kukeldash Madrasah is located (built in 1568 - 1569). It is the largest Bukhara madrasah and one of the largest ones in Central Asia. It was built during the reign of Abdullah-Khan II and was funded by Bukhara governor Kulbab who ruled the city under several khans and managed to maintain good relations with all of them.  Kukeldash Madrasah was also a unique building of its time in terms of architecture. Virtually all the madrasahs then had the similar design of a solid rectangle with a large decorated portal and a courtyard. Kukeldash Madrasah has no solid walls. Instead, they are walls with niches and balconies with stucco ornaments. There are 160 hujra cells in the madrasah, filling the both floors along the perimeter of the spacious courtyard. The madrasah still remains in good condition despite the fact that once the portal was heavily damaged by an earthquake and was fixed with just

Memorial Museum of Mirzo Ulugbek

 Central Asia has seen many rulers who left large footprints on the sands of the history, but Ulugbek will forever remain in the memory of the Central Asian peoples, not only as the grandson of Tamerlane, but also as one of the greatest scholars of Central Asia. Muhammad Tarag’ay (real name of Ulugbek) was born on 22 March1394 in a family of Amir Timur’s youngest son Shahrukh. Since the very infancy Ulugbek was placed under the care of Timur’s favourite wife Saray Mulk Khanum. It had been a regular practice of the Timurid era, so that the parents did not spoil their children. Ulugbek was one of the few Timurid princes who took part in the campaigns of his great grandfather, of course, most of the time he spent in the waggon-train and not with the army, but the grandchildren often visited Timur, who closely monitored their education and upbringing. Since early ages Ulugbek showed great talent in the sciences, thus being different from other Timurid princes. During one of the campaigns,
