4-day

 Hii guys🥰🥰We are continuing our tour in historical places as usual. Today, we went to the Labi Havuz and the Art Gallery Museum, which is an ancient and wonderful example of architecture in Bukhara, with our fellow students and our teacher Matluba Akhmedovna. We got a lot of information about that place, our teacher told us about it. Now I want to share my knowledge and impressions with you through a video, watch it and leave your comments in the comments section.😇😇😇

Labi Hauz which is translated as ‘at the pond’ is one of the central squares of Bukhara situated in the southeast part of the city. The architectural ensemble was created in the 16th-17th centuries. The square has the form of an irregular polygon with the Divan-Begi madrasah in the eastern part. In the western part, opposite the madrasah, is the Divan-Begi khanqah. The khanqah is a small cruciform building with a domed hall in the centre and two storeys of khujras around it. The main façade is flanked with low towers and decorated with mosaics and interwoven ornaments running at its sides. The lateral facades consist of arched entrances and systems of smaller arches.

The central part of the square is occupied by a hauz (pool, pond), which is the largest and most ancient among the constructions of this type in the whole Central Asia. The reservoir is an octagonal pond, 42 m by 36 m and up to 5 m deep, with no drainage. The walls of the pool have the form of stone steps. The reservoir has a volume of 4,300 m3, water coming into it from a system of canals.

The whole of the northeast part is occupied by the large Kukeldash madrasah.
