Dilsora's experience


The Ark fortress.



Hello everyone. Today's blog is about one of the most ancient historic place of Bukhara, the Ark fortress. We visited there with our coursmates ,as well as our teacher was with us. We spent time enjoyable. Now  I am going to give some information which I learnt during this guided tour about the fortress.







The Ark fortress is one of the oldest architectural monument of Bukhara. It stands on a hill which 20 meters higher than the surrounding area. 
It has an extraordinary structure. According to   historic   records ,  1500  years   ago   it already   served    as   the   residence   of   local rulers   and    city's    inhabitants.









Throughout it's history , the fortress was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. Now  the Ark includes    stores   of   clothes  , carpets   , utensils , treasures  ,  jewelleries ,  workshops  , mosques   and   other   buildings .
The   Ark   fortress   of   Bukhara   was   listed    by    UNESKO    as   one  of   the  World   Heritage  sites .













Here  you  can   see  the  epic   hero   Rustam' s   whip  , Ark ' s    lock   and  pipes .They  are  really    attracted  me 🤩🤩🤩. I   think   all   of   you  hear   about  this  epic   hero. 





Furthermore , we  saw  and  learnt  ancient  clothes of  Buhkarains . These   clothes   represent  the   dressing   style   of   our   ancestors .And  also  they  are  one  of  the  main part  of  our  history.





Here  you  can  see  several  jugs  and  plates  and   also   other   items   as  our   ancient   affluence. 






At  the  end  of   my  blog   I  can  say  that  today's   trip was  memorable   and  enjoyable !





I  will  wait  for  your  comments!🙃😊😊😊

  Bolo  Havuz  &   Baland   Mosque   Hello everyone. Now I am going to share my impression and some crucial information that I learnt during today's guided tour .  Today Muyassar who is one of our coursmates,  was our guide .She gave some new and interesting information about Bolo Havuz mosque. Now I want to tell about them in my blog 😊😊😊    Nowadays Bukhara has a number of mosques, large palaces and  minarets. In  ancient  times  It also had it's own registan located opposite the fortress called Ark . Unfortunately, all the buildings in this huge square of Bukhara, only the Bolo Havuz complex has survived to this day. Today We saw it's construction and enjoyed .In addition to this , I can say that our knowledge increased more after today's trip.   It was built at the beginning of the XVII century by order of Emir Shakhmurad,who was the ruler of Bukhara at that time. Emir wanted to prove the inha...
