 The Chor Bakr Memorial Complex, also known as the Chor-Bakr Necropolis, is a historical site located near the city of Bukhara in Uzbekistan. It is a significant pilgrimage and cultural center in the region.


The complex is dedicated to the memory of Abu Bakr Sa'd, who was a 9th-century Islamic mystic and theologian. Chor Bakr, which means "Four Brothers" in Persian, is named after Abu Bakr Sa'd and his three brothers, who are also buried at the site.


The complex consists of a series of mausoleums, mosques, and other structures set within a walled enclosure. The architecture of the buildings reflects traditional Central Asian design, with intricate tilework and domed structures.


The Chor Bakr Memorial Complex, also known as Sumitan's cemetery, was established by Shaybanid ruler Abdullaxon II in 1559, and it includes a mausoleum, a mosque, a madrasa, and a large courtyard surrounded by high walls.Abdullaxon II allocated 70,000 gold coins for the construction of this memorial complex.

The central building of the complex is the mausoleum, which has doors on all four sides. The mausoleum has a two-story structure with two rooms and a domed chamber on top.The mihrab (prayer niche) is located on the qibla side of the mausoleum. The dome of the mausoleum is built in the Arki duzi style. The verses 61 and 62 of Surah Al-Baqara are inscribed on the front facade of the mausoleum.The courtyard measures 20 meters in length, while the front entrance is 12 meters wide.


The minaret in the complex was constructed in 1890 by Mirzo Hoji Jo驶yboriy and stands above the previous minaret's foundation. The area of the complex covers 40 hectares, with the cemetery section occupying 12 hectares.The Chor Bakr Madrasah in the Chor Bakr Memorial Complex is one of the highest-ranking madrasas and underwent renovation work in 1950, 1971, and 1999.



The Chor Bakr Memorial Complex is an important place of pilgrimage for Muslims, as well as a popular tourist attraction. Visitors come to pay their respects to the revered figures buried at the site and to admire the historical and architectural significance of the complex.

The peaceful and serene atmosphere of the Chor Bakr Memorial Complex makes it a place for contemplation and reflection, and it stands as a testament to the rich cultural and religious heritage of Uzbekistan.
