4th day - Govkushon Memorial Complex

 Govkushon ensemble


Hi dears ! How are you doing !? Iʼm happy to share again an amazing trip to Govkushon Memorial Complex 🙃 So , letʼs start 🥰

 


Govkushon madrasa was built in the early stage of the last middle ages, during the reign of the Shaybanids, in the 16th century.



Various sizes of raw and ready-made bricks, wood, clay, stone, tin and similar materials were used in its construction. Between Govkushan madrasa and mosque, Shahrud disappeared. But this ditch was buried in the 1930s. The eastern side of the madrasah is two-storeyed, and there are single-storeyed cells and a mezana on the sides and back. The corner on the arch in the west of the peshtok is decorated with floral motifs, and the book part is decorated with suls letters. At the entrance, on the right, there is a mosque-room (classroom). The central courtyard (25×35 m) is surrounded by cells on four sides. The Khoja Mosque consists of an entrance porch, brick arched porches around the courtyard, a hall and a minaret. The minaret (19.5 m) is reached through an arched bridge on the roof of the mosque. The tower is made of bricks of different shapes. The patterns become thinner towards the top, adding elegance to the tower along with the lantern arched windows. The Govkushon madrasa is decorated in the "Chor" style, incorporating Eastern traditions.



The name of the madrasa is completely different from other madrasas. Madrasa is associated with the name of the neighborhood. There was also a butcher's market and neighborhood called Govkushon. Before and after independence, the parts of the architectural monument in need of repair were restored. The surroundings of the madrasa were greened. It has become a resort for foreign tourists and pilgrims of our country.



In 1997, on the occasion of the 2500th anniversary of the city of Bukhara, among all the monuments in Bukhara, the Govkushon madrasa was renovated. It was included in the list of UNESCO World Monuments. Laws adopted on August 30, 2000 "On the protection and use of cultural heritage objects" are the legal guarantee of the architectural monument.
