Hi!

Day 5.

Today we went to Minaret Kalyan with our teacher Matluba Ahmedovna. Our trip was very excited and now i want to share my information with you.


Minarai Kalon (Big Tower), Arslankhan Tower is an architectural monument in Bukhara. It was built by Arslan Khan (1127) based on the project of engineer and architect Baqo. There used to be a tower on the place of Mk, after it collapsed, the current one was rebuilt. The foundation is made of a mixture of stone and special rock. 9 m below ground level, bal. 50.0 m, the chair is sharp, the body is spherical, and the top is connected with a circular cage-box. The tower tapers upwards and ends with a muqarnas. You can observe the surroundings through 16 arched windows in the cage. 104 spiral staircases inside the tower lead to the top. There was a bridge leading to the minaret from the side of the mosque. Both the core and the decoration are made of square brick (27x27x4x5 cm). 


Depending on the location of the decorative nail, it has different shapes, and the surface is smooth. The beautifully decorated rings of various geometrical shapes, which are placed on top of each other, are framed by brick pediments. Kufic inscriptions of historical and religious content can be found among the decorations. Each of the blue enamel rings below the muqarnas is decorated with a different geometric pattern (later shed). Mk is this type of height. has a special place among the structures. Similarity and proportionality of forms. geometric harmony, great looks and elegance give the Mk a real beauty. 

The body and muqarnas were repaired (1924). The underground base (chair) was opened and repaired by master Achil Bobomurodov (1960). On the occasion of the 2500th anniversary of Bukhara, Mk was renovated (1997). Mk occupies a central place among the unique and ancient monuments of Bukhara.
