Our next destination is the complex of Tirki Jandiy. With our teacher Dilnoza Ilhomovna and two groups , we have visited to the memorial complex on Monday. This unrestored mausoleum lies just south of the city's main tourist zone, on the east side of Nomozgokh Street which leads eventually to the Namazgah Mosque.

Domed crossroad markets were popularly called "Taks" (arch) referring to their characteristic vaulted shell structures. The pivotal role of "tak"s in sustaining Bukhara's eminence among Silk...
