Summer Palace of the Emirs of Bukhara (Sitorai Mokhi-Khosa) — built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, this was the royal family’s countryside residence. The palace blends Oriental and Russian architectural styles and features elegant halls, mirror decorations, and lush gardens.
Chor Bakr Necropolis — located about 6 km west of Bukhara and 15 km from the Summer Palace, this UNESCO-listed burial complex dates back to the 16th century. Known as the “City of the Dead,” it serves as the resting place of the descendants of Abu Bakr Sa'd, a revered spiritual leader.
Chor Minor Madrasah — situated in the old city of Bukhara, this charming structure was built in the early 19th century by Khalif Niyazkul. The name “Chor Minor” means “Four Minarets,” referring to its four distinctive turquoise towers, each featuring unique decorative motifs.
