Day 1

 

ABDULAZIZ-KHAN MADRASAH

Built in 1652, a few centuries later than Ulugh-Beg Madrasah (built in 1417), Abdulaziz-Khan Madrasah, which stands across from it, is an integral part of Bukhara’s most outstanding architectural ensemble. Abdulaziz-Khan Madrasah marks the remarkable progress of medieval Central Asian architecture; it shows us how amazingly high the skills of Central Asian architects, builders and artists were at the time.

Today we started practice days.  As in that practice around the city the historical places of Bukhara.  Our first destination was the Madrasah of Ablulazizkhan.  Our teacher appointed a time at 13:30 and we all gathered in a group near the madrasah.

It was very interesting because I had never been there. I had the feeling that I was at the time when this madrasah was built. The group and I went inside and got acquainted with the monuments that were built in the 16th century. At the end of that day, our teacher asked us for one piece of information about this madrasah. Thank you all for today.
