Chor Minor

In the eastern part of Bukhara there is an unusual monument. This is Chor – minor. “Chor minor” means “four minarets”. Essentially it serves as a part of large Madrassah, built by rich turkman Niyazkul. The Madrassah is demolished, but Chor – minor is on the square among dwelling houses. To the right of entrance inside there was written a Persian quatrain, pointing out the date of building – 1807. On the first floor in Chor – minor there is a hexahedralentrance vestibule, which has four-side opening embrasure; on the second one, there is a square guard lodging, from which you can get into four minarets with sky-blue domes.
