Kalon Mosque 🕌

 Day 2.

         Assalomu alaykum everyone 😍 

Today is the second practice day of the Kalon Mosque in Bukhara. We studied the information about Kalon historical monument and told tourists, take photos📸



 The minaret is an architectural masterpiece. Its 14 ornamental bands, all different, include the first use of the glazed blue tiles that were to saturate Central Asia under the Timurids. Up and down the southern and eastern sides are faintly lighter patches, marking the restoration of damage caused by Soviet general Frunze’s artillery in 1920. Its 105 inner stairs, accessible from the Kalon Mosque, have been closed off to tourists for several years but may reopen.



Once after the conquest of Bukhara, Genghis Khan entered the main square of the city, he saw a grandiose minaret in the middle of the square. He looked up at the minaret and a helmet fell from his head. “I never bowed to anyone. But this building is so grandiose that it deserves a bow.” Thus, a unique monument and the main symbol of Bukhara, the Kalon minaret, was preserved.


Thank you for your attention ☺️
