The Kalyan Mosque is one of the oldest in Central Asia. The majestic portal is decorated with mosaics. It is part of the Poi Kalyan architectural ensemble, the heart of Bukhara. A favorite place of residents and tourists. It was built in 1514. It is beautiful during the day and especially in the evening with lighting. For tourists, Bukhara is beautiful because all the sights are within walking distance. We lived three minutes from Labi House Square, in the old town, and we could walk around all the sights.
The Kalyan Minaret is a truly impressive structure! Its height is simply amazing, you feel small next to such a majestic monument of history and architecture. Even just standing at its foot, you can feel the power and grandeur of ancient architecture. This is a must-visit place in Bukhara, a real symbol of the city!
A very strong impression of the mosque and minaret, especially at night, thanks to the magical lighting.
Every detail of the delicate pattern is visible. I want to examine and enjoy. Excellent restoration work with respect for the historical heritage of Uzbekistan 💚
