Nog'ay carvansaray

 Assalomu alaykum everyone🤩

Today our first practice day. We went to Nog'ay carvansaray. We got together 10:30 and the weather is very cold.

Nogay Caravanserai is a monument of cultural heritage located in the historical center of Bukhara , Uzbekistan . Included in the national list of immovable property objects of Uzbekistan's material and cultural heritage - under state protection [1] . Caravanserai Tower is adjacent to the western gable of the Sarrophon trade dom.

Nogai caravanserai is located in the western part of Sarrofon architectural complex . The Nogai caravanserai was built in 1720-1721 on the place of the Sokhta caravanserai, which belonged to Qulbobo Kokaldosh and burned down later. According to the information, merchants worked on the 1st floor of the building, and cloaks were sewn on the 2nd floor. After the Gazli earthquake, the 2nd floor was demolished in 1976-1977. Currently, its rooms are used as craft workshops, souvenir shops and offices [2] . The construction and repair of two large caravanserais in the Sarrafon area was of great importance in the development of trade in the Bukhara Khanate. The construction of caravanserais led to the development of trade [3] . Foundation documents related to the Nogai caravanserai have been preserved. The caravanserai has two floors and a large courtyard. The documents of the foundation contain information about the expenses and funds related to the caravanserai. In the main northern part of the caravanserai, there are craft and trade stalls on both sides of the entrance-exit corridor. The porch above the gate is decorated with ceramic tiles. Although the Nogai caravanserai was rebuilt, the Kokaldosh madrasa was turned into a foundation property. At the beginning of the 19th century, the tenant of the caravanserai donated 240 gold coins for the Kokaldosh madrasa [4] . Today, the mosque is located on Bahauddin Naqshband street .
