The Kalyan Minaret is a symbol of Bukhara and one of the most magnificent buildings in Central Asia. Built in 1127 under the rule of the Karakhanids, it served not only as a minaret for the call to prayer, but also as a lighthouse for caravans, and even as a watchtower. The height of the Kalyan is almost 47 meters, and its patterned brickwork impresses with precision and harmony. Since then, the minaret has stood firm, having survived wars, earthquakes and the change of epochs — as the eternal guardian of the spirit of ancient Bukhara.

The minaret is a universal landmark of the historical center of the city, viewed from different places and from different angles. At times, you might think he's like a leaning tower, but that's a mistake. In fact, the building is sturdy and in excellent condition. In the evening, Kalyan and the surrounding buildings are beautifully illuminated.

A fabulously beautiful place! In general, the ancient center of Bukhara seems to have descended from the pictures of oriental fairy tales! It feels like Aladdin is about to fly around the corner on a magic carpet!

One of the business cards of ancient Bukhara! The legendary architectural ensemble, consisting of various structures, but looks as if its construction was planned at the same time. Clear architectural lines, correct proportions of the entrance group of the mosque and madrasah, a slender majestic minaret with the richest decor.

It is a very beautiful monumental structure. This minaret is considered a symbol of Bukhara. At the foot of the Kalyan Minaret are located the Miri Arab Madrasah and the Kalyan Mosque, which together form an architectural ensemble. Many legends are associated with the tallest minaret in Central Asia, the Kalyan Minaret in Bukhara. The Kalyan Minaret is a large Tower, but it has another name – the Tower of Death, as people condemned by the khan used to be thrown from it. Many legends are connected with the girls who were executed on the orders of the khan.

One of the main attractions of Bukhara. The monument is majestic and decorated with different masonry levels. The tallest minaret in Bukhara. According to legend, Tamerlane "took off his hat" in front of him, when he looked up, the hat fell off his head. Although maybe this is an invented legend.

The minaret is certainly impressive. When you see it, you understand the same Genghis Khan who said that this building is worthy of worship. It's not for nothing that they call him Kalyan, which means great in Persian. And not only for its height, but also for its amazing architecture.

It is a very beautiful monumental structure. This minaret is considered a symbol of Bukhara. At the foot of the Kalyan minaret are located the Miri Arab Madrasah and the Kalyan Mosque, which together form an architectural ensemble. Next to the minaret is the kunzhak women's hammam, an architectural monument of the 16th century, which is under state protection. This hammam is still in operation. Going inside, you are instantly transported to an oriental fairy tale, you feel the spirit of that century!

It's a very beautiful place. The minaret is one of the symbols of Bukhara. It is part of the Poi-Kalon ensemble. It is best to explore during sunset. The Ark Citadel is 200 meters away. In general, almost all the sights of Bukhara are located in one place. You can watch absolutely everything in 3 hours.

Nicely. Interesting. We were there in the morning, there were very few people. We took a tour guide - it turned out to be just individual for us. The tour is not long, but interesting. But it all depends on the guide, of course. Organized groups start arriving after 10. Therefore, if you want to wander in silence, come early.

The Kalyan Minaret, also known as the Bukhara Minaret, has been known, sorry for the tautology, since 1127. The overall impression of exploring the minaret is absolutely magnificent!

Impressive! Recommended to visit. Built in 1127, 46.5 m high. After many conquests, the minaret survived. If you go around the minaret, you can see the destruction after the guns. It has been almost 9 centuries old and has never been razed to the ground. First of all, it is a religious landmark. In different periods, it also served as a lighthouse for travelers, a lookout and a tower of death for executions.

The beautiful minaret of pre-Mongolian architecture is the center of attraction of tourist flows. Perhaps the main symbol of the city. Like many things in Uzbekistan, you have to watch at different times of the day, the most vivid impression is the night light.

A truly fabulous place. It's like fairy tales come to life from the pages of the Scheherizade. Atmospheric, magical, cozy. Illuminated, the minaret is transformed, but at dawn it is no less beautiful. To get beautiful photos, it is better to come around 6-7 in the morning or after 23 o'clock.

The Kalyan Minaret is a real miracle of medieval architecture! Its majestic height, almost 46 meters, is amazing. When you stand at the foot, you feel the full scale and power of this grandiose structure. Impressive is not only the size, but also the elegance of the brickwork, preserved through the centuries. Kalyan is not just a tower, but a symbol of Bukhara, filled with history and culture. A must-visit!

Almost 1000 years of history. Beauty, scale, grandeur, and we are like a grain of sand in this abyss of time. A bright and joyful place, it's worth discussing the meaning of life after visiting the sights on the terrace opposite - beautiful views of the roofs of the old town are provided.

The only pre-Mongolian minaret in the region! 12th century! According to legend, Genghis Khan himself bowed to him! And how it happened, the guides of Bukhara will tell you. It is actually beautiful and impressive. In the first photo, a rare angle is visible entirely and at the same time without people. You can't even take the square off the edge like that.

This building stands out from the rest and attracts to itself . The color scheme is the same throughout the city, but it still attracts you. And on the 3rd day we decided to climb it- the steps are very high, but the climb is not as long as we expected, it is quite possible to overcome it. And there's a panorama of the whole city from there, and if you do it at sunset, you'll get an extra bonus.
