Bukhara is considered one of the most spectacular and beautiful cities in the world, especially in Central Asia. A city that was destroyed several times, was rebuilt and has experienced many historical changes. The fifth largest city of Uzbekistan is a place where each and every sight can be used to capture extremely beautiful and memorable images. Bukhara and Samarkand are two important cities of Uzbekistan, which are referred to as reflectors of Islamic architecture. Cities where an important part of their population is formed by Muslims, Tajik speakers and Persian speakers. Join us as we are going to visit a very spectacular and beautiful minaret in the city of Bukhara in the latest part of virtual tours.

The domes and minarets of Kalyan Mosque are the most important and attractive sights of Bukhara. This building was built during Al-Afrasiab era and its height of 45 meters was very useful and vital for the guide of Bukhara travelers. The minarets of the Kalyan Mosque were considered the tallest minarets in Asia for a long time.

It is said that during the Mongol attack on Bukhara, when Genghis Khan and his men were busy killing the citizens of Tajikistan, the height of the Kalyan minaret caused the Mughal king to see his hat falling on the ground when he raised his head to look at this tall and breathtaking minaret! A building whose magnificence made Genghis Khan admire its architects and stop destroying it. Of course, the minarets of Kalyan were not the only historical monuments that escaped from Genghis the Mongol. Magoki-Atari Mosque (meaning Blue Mosque) is another beautiful structure from the city of Bukhara, which was left safe and sound from the hands of Genghis’s soldiers during the Mongol invasion!
