Today was our 2nd practice lesson, and it was in Kalyan Minoret. Kalyan Minaret is one of the tallest buildings in Bukhara, its height is 46.5 m, and a fundamental part of all its leaves to a depth of 10 m with a diameter at the base of 9 m. Powerful tapered thinning ends up with massive pillar lantern cylindrical rotunda on stalactite crown.

 Kalyan Minaret is located in eastern part of Bukhara and the history of its construction referred to the XI century. This monument originally served for the purpose of call for Muslim prayers. However later, this high minaret became an observation post, from which followed the appearance of the enemy and also served as a kind of beacon for trade caravans.

 

Also our trip was in Mir-Arab. This is a wonderful sightseeing that fascinates with its soulful atmosphere of oriental colors and ornament - madrassa Mir- Arab.

It is located on an area of Kalyan square in Bukhara, and cannot be attributed to the hearsay among the most famous madrassa Islamic world.
