Turki Jandi

 Hi everyone 👋☺️

Today we visited Turki Jandi at 9.00 o'clock 😌 with our groupmates and teacher Zarifa Gafurovna. The weather was very cold and it was very difficult to find this place. 

Today our trip guides are Munira, Malika and Dilshoda. They gave more information about this place and gave questions and activities 😊. 

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. The exact age of the structure is uncertain, but Badr and Tupev note that unpublished excavation reports from 1971-72 suggest the current edifice was constructed in the mid-16th century, with evidence of three other building periods, two earlier and one later. From an architectural perspective the building's prominent dome set upon a tall drum is indicative of Timurid-era architecture and recalls the Mir-i-Arab Madrassa (likely a contemporary structure) and the far earlier Gur-e-Amir Mausoleum in Samarkand (c. 1403-04). The interior of the mausoleum is unfortunately off-limits to visitors due to its poor structural condition—the main dome is cracked and may be in danger of collapse. Originally it would have been clad in turquoise tiles, but none of these survive.

If you read my blog please write only one fact about Turki Jandi. 

Thank you for your attention 😉🙂.
