Toqi Sarrafon trading dome...

Today, my practical lesson was in Toqi Sarrafon trading dome. As usual, firstly we gave informations about architectural monument and had new knowledges about it!
Toqi Sarrafon is an architectural monument and one of the main trade centres of Bukhara for money exchange. 

This architectural monument was built in 1534-1535 by the order of Shaybanid ruler Ubaydullah Khan. There were shops for money exchange, a mosque and a Sarrafon bathhouse in this dome. Toqi Sarrafon was famous as the money changers dome.


Today we can find various national souvenirs, painted utensils and hats under the famous dome. Ancient bazaar, like many years ago , was filled with buyers and tourists from different countries.

There were lots of shops in trading dome, I watched all of them with more interest because most of them were our traditional products. 
Actually, my day was great and full of adventures. I am thankful for such a beautiful day...!💖

The Ark is built on the remains of the earlier structures, which constitute a layer twenty meters deep under the base arch, the layers indicating that previous fortresses had been built and destroyed on the site.

Trip to " the Museum of Fine Arts of Bukhara" Today, my adventure took place in the Museum of Arts of Bukhara. The Museum of Fine Arts of Bukhara was founded in 1982 by the initiative of the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Uzbek SSR, Sharof Rashidov.  In the specially renovated building, 3 independent departments of the Bukhara State Museum-Reserve have been established, the first is the department of the Bukhara Museum of Fine Arts, the second is the Scientific Center of Historical Manuscripts, and the third is the Photo and Document Fund. The Museum was full of unique paintings. While I watching them, I noticed that they are related to ordinary life of people. That's why they look alive. While watching them, I saw the way of life of people in ancient times, I felt the atmosphere of that time. The paintings were so beautiful and watching the paintings is  enjoyable..!

The prison was built in the nortwest corner of Shahriston and consisted of several chambers of debt, the cooler and dungeon, laid of brick with a diameter of about 5 meters and a depth of 6.5 meter. The Zindan was full of mysteries and the atmosphere was special, I have never seen it before.  There were stamps of judges. They were related to late 18th- early 19th centuries and were written in Arabic language. Another thing which I was interested most is order of emirs. They were also written in Arabic language.

While I was watching them, I thought about the ...
