 Discovering the Timeless Beauty of Masjidi Baland


Bukhara is a city full of history and culture, and one of its most special places is the Masjidi Baland. This mosque is a beautiful example of Islamic architecture, and my visit there with my university friends was truly memorable.


Masjidi Baland, which means "High Mosque," was built in the early 16th century during the Shaybanid dynasty. The mosque's name comes from its slightly raised position, which gives it a special significance.The mosque is famous for its beautiful tile work and detailed carvings. The blue and green tiles create a stunning visual display that takes you back in time.


Visiting Masjidi Baland was a special experience for me. I went there with my university friends,our teacher Mohichehra Temirovna and two tourists,making the visit even more enjoyable.


As we stepped inside, we felt a cool and peaceful atmosphere. The interior, with its intricate mosaics and calligraphy, was very calming. We sat quietly for a while, taking in the peaceful surroundings.Walking around the mosque, each of us was lost in thought, thinking about the many people who had prayed there over the years. It was amazing to imagine the history and devotion that had shaped this place.


This visit wasn't just about seeing a historical site; it was also a time to bond with my friends. We talked about what we saw, took photos, and even tried to draw some of the designs.I also give information about the Masjidi Baland to our tourists.


Masjidi Baland is more than just a historical building; it is a place where you can feel the connection between the past and present. My visit there with my university friends was a journey of discovery that deepened my appreciation for Bukhara's rich culture and strengthened my friendships.


If you ever visit Bukhara, I highly recommend going to Masjidi Baland. Whether you love history, architecture, or just want a moment of peace, this mosque has something for everyone.😊🩷

  Chor-Bakr: A Journey into History  As part of our practicum, we had a special chance to visit the Chor-Bakr complex in Bukhara. It was an unforgettable experience that helped us connect with the history, culture, and spiritual side of our country. Chor-Bakr is also called the “City of the Dead” because many respected religious leaders, especially from the Juybari family, are buried there. The complex was built in the 16th century and is known for its peaceful atmosphere, beautiful domes, and ancient architecture. When we entered the complex, I immediately felt calm and curious. The area was very quiet, and it felt like a place full of meaning. We walked around the courtyards, looked at the old gravestones, and listened to a guide who told us interesting facts about the place. . One thing that really impressed me was how everything was built to bring peace and reflection. I enjoyed taking photos and imagining what life might have been like during those times This visit was no...

 A Visit to Chor-Minor Today, during our practicum, we had the chance to visit Chor-Minor, one of the most interesting historical sites in Bukhara. Although it is not as large as other monuments, it immediately caught my attention with its unique design.  The name "Chor-Minor" means "Four Minarets," and true to its name, the building has four small towers, each with a slightly different look. I found it fascinating that each tower is said to represent a different culture, showing how diverse and rich our history is. When I first saw the building, I felt both curious and surprised. It looked very different from what I expected. The bright blue domes on top of each tower gave it a cheerful and peaceful feeling. Even though it was small, the building seemed full of stories and secrets from the past.  Our teacher, Mohichehra Temurova asked information about Chor Minar. We shared what we gathered from online websites.As we walked around, I felt proud to be part of a cult...

Although the site is not very large or well-known to tourists, it holds deep meaning for the local community.  Visiting places like this helps us see a different side of Bukhara – not just its famous monuments, but also the hidden spiritual landmarks that are full of respect and tradition.
