Baxtiyorova Sarvara 10-xta

 Day 6

    Assalomu aleykum. We began the second week of our practice. The weather is clear and sunny ☀️. Today's direction was Khoja- Gaukushan ensemble. All of us arrived here at 11:00 ,  we started the practice leadership of our intern Bahodir Jalilov. 

    The Khoja-Gaukushan Ensemble  is one of the largest architectural complexes in the center of Bukhara. Along with a number of other buildings in central Bukhara, it is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

      The name Gaukushan means "killing bulls" as the site was previously home to an animal trading area.

   The complex includes a madrassa and a mosque with a tall and wide minaret, equal in width to the Khoja Kalon minaret, but shorter.

The complex was built in 1570 during the reign of the Uzbek Khan Abdullah II.

     Govkushon madrasa was built in the early stage of the last middle ages, during the reign of the Shaybanites, in the 16th century. Various sizes of raw and ready-made bricks, wood, clay, stone, tin and similar materials were used in its construction. The Shahrud stream passed between the Govkushan madrasa and the mosque. But this ditch was buried in the 1930s. The east 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.

     Govkushon complex - an architectural monument in Bukhara (16th century) A complex consisting of a madrasah, a mosque, a tower, a pool and a palace (Govkushon - a butcher's market) built by Khojabor Khoja. The Shahrud stream passed between the madrasa and the mosque. The pool was buried in the 1930s. The eastern side of the madrasa is two-storeyed, and there are single-storeyed cells and a mezana on the sides and back. The peak is in the west. The border on the frame is decorated with plant-like Sirkori motifs, and the book part is decorated with suls letters. At the entrance, on the right, there is a mosque (classroom). The central courtyard (25x35 m) is surrounded by cells on four sides. Khoja Mosque consists of an entrance porch, brick arched porches around the courtyard, a hall and a minaret. The minaret (bal. 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 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.

     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.
