in an architectural monument with a rich history, it is worth visiting. But because it is located inside the old city, the roads were inconvenient, but now it is being renovated, I think the tourists will like it.

One of the oldest monumental building of Bukhara, there is nothing inside, just shops with antique things, but outside look is amazing.

There is a bazaar inside, you can't commodify everything, so buckhara has lost its spiritual essence and can be reproduced in any city in the world, perhaps even better at this point if it is just an attraction.

One of the places in Bukhara that is worth exploring not only from the outside, but also from the inside. An entrance ticket is acceptable, and you can purchase it at one of the shops located on the ground floor. From the inside, you can see the ascetic rooms where students of the madrasah used to study, and on the upper tier, you can explore interesting minarets and surroundings, surrounded by typical quarters of Bukhara.

The architectural monument Chor Minor (four towers) was built in 1807. The original portal of the large madrasah complex is the only one that has survived to this day. Each tower has an original design. Storks have been nesting on the minarets for a long time, now a sculpture on one of the towers reminds of this. In 1995, one tower was destroyed and restored under the auspices of UNESCO. A pleasant young man prepares delicious coffee nearby. You can walk to the madrasah on foot, from the Lyabi Hauz square 10-15 minutes by walking along narrow original streets.

A small madrasah slightly outside the main tourist trails. Don't be lazy to take an extra 15 minutes to admire the completely uncharacteristic architecture of Bukhara and Uzbekistan.

A small building, part of a 19th-century mosque, is located in the center of the old town, just away from the main attractions. Admission is free. According to legend, storks loved to nest there, and people go there to sit in silence in the courtyard, to dream. There is no rapid flow of tourists there- all the more valuable is the time spent there.

The madrasah is very interesting for its architecture. Its outlines are found on many plates and postcards both in Bukhara and throughout Uzbekistan. The madrasah is located a little away from the main street inside the city's housing stock, but it is definitely worth walking to it. The madrasa is not big at all, I would even say small. But its four minarets make it a gem of architecture. The minarets rise exactly at the four corners of the madrasah and the height of the minarets is about twice as high as the building itself. This makes them seem monumental. There is a nest with storks on one of the minarets, as a reminder that they settled here in ancient times. Very cool. The building is beautifully illuminated by night lighting and it is worth seeing it not only during the day but also in the evening. I definitely recommend not to miss this location.

A nice and beautiful building, even now. In its original state, the building was significantly more richly decorated, but much was lost during the Soviet years, fortunately, after undergoing restoration, the building surprises with its beauty.

As for me, it is a masterpiece of architecture from the point of view of aesthetics. It is a pleasure to view the building, especially at night. The building is decorated with four towers, while each tower is decorated in a special way, that is, the patterns are not repeated. There's a store inside the building, but we didn't get there, and we didn't want to.

A beautiful landmark. There's a gift shop inside. If desired, you can climb to the roof for a little money. There are no special views from there, but you can take a closer look at the minarets.

An unusual mosque, some call it a stool, but it is interesting because each of its minarets is different. It was closed in March, and the territory was being built nearby. That's why we only looked at it from the outside. Opposite there is a shop selling antiques from the Soviet era. There is an interesting little thing.

The Chor Minor Madrasah is one of the most unusual buildings in Bukhara. Four minarets, each with a different pattern, create a unique architectural style. A cozy, quiet place with the atmosphere of antiquity. Definitely worth seeing with your own eyes!

It is very beautiful and unusual. There are many tourists from far abroad. We will go up to the roof for a fee-about 20 thousand sums. The roof offers a beautiful view of the surrounding houses of old Bukhara.

It looks very nice from the outside, but inside it's trading again... You can go up to the roof, but the "museum curators" would do well to improve it somehow.. And none of the towers will be able to climb, they are all closed... and it would be interesting to climb there.

A madrasah with a shop inside, just like everywhere else. For 15,000 soums (~115 rubles), you can go upstairs. The view is not wow, you won't lose anything without getting up) There is a bottle opener nearby and you can drink coffee from the vending machine.

The building of the madrasah is located a little away from the main attractions of Bukhara-but it is worth taking the time to explore it. Non-standard architecture, beautiful shapes. The sculptures of storks on one of the towers look cute. Nearby there are shops with interesting souvenirs, including those that evoke nostalgia (Soviet times). The walking path leads through narrow courtyards, immersing in the atmosphere of a medieval city, as if from a fairy tale about Aladdin

Only these 4 turrets and the gate part of the arch at the corners of which they are located remain from the entire madrasah. You can climb up to the roof, touch them with your hands. 30 minutes for this object is the maximum that is needed. Interesting, beautiful. It's worth coming in to see.

This is an interesting historical landmark, which, as a native of these places, does not surprise me much, but for tourists visiting it for the first time, it will definitely become a vivid impression. Chor Minor attracts with its unique architectural style — four minarets, each of which differs in its design, create a unique look. This place takes you back to the past, allowing you to feel the spirit of history and culture. If this is your first time in Bukhara or you just love historical sites, Chor Minor is worth a visit. This is a great place to take photos and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the old town.

I love Bukhara very much. Chor Minor is the quietest place. Tourists go, of course, but not so much. In C Minor, I would say an "intimate" location. Calm, peaceful, small. It's nice to sit in the cool, listen to birdsong, and immerse yourself in the past. The bonus is a store next to various souvenirs from the Soviet past. Some remind of childhood, some of perestroika.. There was a time... there is a museum inside and for a fee they are allowed to climb to the roof. View of the old town. But it's better to take photos from below.

On June 22 and 23, 2024, I visited this place, it is located on the sidelines, it was the last place of our excursion, it is authentic, it is interesting to listen to how history changed its appearance. I returned here on the second day, sat in the shade on a bench, very beneficial, quiet, calm. Recommend. There's nothing to see inside, there's a store, just outside.

The original architecture rightfully makes this madrasah one of the business cards of the city. The place deserves a visit, but... I understand that Bukhara is a trading city, but when almost every historical building sells all sorts of junk, it gets boring...

Chor Minor is located a little away from the tourist movement itself, which is why I liked the place, the tranquility, no fuss around, but the most pleasant thing turned out to be a large flea market opposite, which completely immersed me in childhood memories at the sight of many things that memory had already kind of forgotten. It's a great place.

The madrasah is unusual in architecture. If you have time, I recommend visiting. We took a taxi for 10-15 minutes through some back streets. Despite the deep evening, there were quite a lot of visitors - namely Russians.

It was built in 1807 on the initiative of the wealthy merchant Khalifa Niyazkul beg. The four minarets that make up the structure symbolize the four cardinal directions. The madrasa was a higher educational institution, had a rich library and was one of the Sufi centers of Bukhara. It functioned before the establishment of Soviet power. Later, the hujras of the madrasah were used for housing.

As follows from the history, the building was built by some merchant. The latter decided to build a la Taj Mahal in Uzbekistan. It turned out not even remotely reminiscent. There are minarets on four sides. There is a souvenir shop inside. There's not much to see. Entrance to one of the minarets is paid 20,000 soums via a spiral staircase. I didn't go. Since there's nothing to see there. My eyes couldn't stop at something interesting and unique. The building is made of brick, like many others in the area. There is no observation deck. And the height is about 12-15 meters. The building was chosen as one of the places where you can take tourists and earn baksheesh from them. In terms of historical value and beauty, my subjective rating is 3 out of 5. Located in the center of a residential development. I recommend visiting only when there is nowhere else to go, without a guide, without going to the minaret.

Not all tourist groups are lucky enough to visit Chor Minor! Therefore, it was decided to independently see this unique attraction of Bukhara at sunset. I definitely recommend you to visit. And a little secret is not for everyone: you can ask the merchants inside for permission and climb up to the roof of the madrasah for just 5,000 soums and see not only the classrooms where classes were held, but also admire the beauty of the sunset and the surroundings of Chor Minor!
