Chor Minor

Hello my dears!Today I want to share some amazing facts and my fantastic experience of visiting Chor Minor.  The Chor Minor Madrasah in Bukhara is one of the most remarkable historical monuments of the town. Located behind the Lyab-i Hauz complex, it is especially outstanding compared to the rest of the square in its unusual forms and architectural design, which accounts for its name.  "Chor Minor" means "four minarets" in Persian. These are small angle towers with azure-blue domes surrounding the square-rectangular building. But in contrast to traditional minarets, which suggest the possibility of ascending the "muezzin" to the open platform for the convocation to prayer, in Chor Minor it is missing.
