The building of the madrasah is located a little away from the main attractions of Bukhara-but it is worth taking the time to explore it. Non-standard architecture, beautiful shapes. The sculptures of storks on one of the towers look cute. Nearby there are shops with interesting souvenirs, including those that evoke nostalgia (Soviet times).
The walking path leads through narrow courtyards, immersing in the atmosphere of a medieval city, as if from a fairy tale about Aladdin
A stunning historical building, on the roof of which you can climb and take cool photos. Previously, it was a complex with several other buildings around, but only the house (pool) remained
On June 22 and 23, 2024, I visited this place, it is located on the sidelines, it was the last place of our excursion, it is authentic, it is interesting to listen to how history changed its appearance. I returned here on the second day, sat in the shade on a bench, very beneficial, quiet, calm. Recommend. There's nothing to see inside, there's a store, just outside.
As follows from the history, the building was built by some merchant. The latter decided to build a la Taj Mahal in Uzbekistan. It turned out not even remotely reminiscent. There are minarets on four sides. There is a souvenir shop inside. There's not much to see. Entrance to one of the minarets is paid 20,000 soums via a spiral staircase. I didn't go. Since there's nothing to see there. My eyes couldn't stop at something interesting and unique. The building is made of brick, like many others in the area. There is no observation deck. And the height is about 12-15 meters. The building was chosen as one of the places where you can take tourists and earn baksheesh from them. In terms of historical value and beauty, my subjective rating is 3 out of 5. Located in the center of a residential development. I recommend visiting only when there is nowhere else to go, without a guide, without going to the minaret.
A nice and beautiful building, even now. In its original state, the building was significantly more richly decorated, but much was lost during the Soviet years, fortunately, after undergoing restoration, the building surprises with its beauty.
The Chor Minor Madrasah, this is the only gate preserved from that institution. It was built at the beginning of the XIX century.
The architecture is unusual, the 4 minarets of the building are covered with blue lead tiles. The library used to be on the second floor, now it is empty. There is an opportunity for tourists and visitors to climb up. It is located inside the block, near the Khoja Tabband Mosque.
The inconvenience is that the building is located lower than the block itself, which causes flooding in winter
A beautiful historical building,
Inside, there is only a souvenir shop downstairs.
You can go upstairs for 15 thousand.
There are no particularly preserved historical sites upstairs
Only these 4 turrets and the gate part of the arch at the corners of which they are located remain from the entire madrasah. You can climb up to the roof, touch them with your hands. 30 minutes for this object is the maximum that is needed. Interesting, beautiful. It's worth coming in to see.
Interesting, unusual. They let you in for 15,000. It's worth going, there are not many places where you can touch everyday life like that (in what conditions you lived). It looks like 4 phalanges from the outside)
A beautiful mosque, but we got there with difficulty because it was dug around, we barely found it. In general, it is a very beautiful place, away from the road, in the greenery, in the evening there was a backlight
Not all tourist groups are lucky enough to visit Chor Minor!
Therefore, it was decided to independently see this unique attraction of Bukhara at sunset.
I definitely recommend you to visit.
And a little secret is not for everyone:
you can ask the merchants inside for permission and climb up to the roof of the madrasah for just 5,000 soums and see not only the classrooms where classes were held, but also admire the beauty of the sunset and the surroundings of Chor Minor!
Stunning beauty, Chor minor from Tajik or Persian means Four minarets. It is a complex of buildings in the continuation of the madrasah. It is located in holy Bukhara.
A miniature, almost toy-like madrasah. There is a certain charm in it, like bonsai. It is located among residential buildings. Away from the main attractions. Finding it is a separate adventure. They let you on the roof for a small fee.
It is necessary to visit Bukhara - it is a magical , fabulous city ! Chor Minoa (four minarets) is a madrasah, which is the hallmark of the city , a very small , pleasant courtyard with a pond next to it. Unfortunately, if you look into Bukhara for just one day, it will not be shown, it is included in the excursion program of the second day.
It is an unusual structure, because no one can really say for what purposes it was built. And now here, as in many historical places, there is a souvenir shop with prices like in the center.
It's beautiful and that's it.It is located in the courtyards, they searched for two days, found it, looked at it and left.It looks better at night because the backlight turns on
Madrasah in Chor Minor! It is located in courtyards, there is traditionally trade inside. The madrasah itself is free. But for an additional fee, just a local merchant can be allowed to go to the top…Roses bloomed all around (very beautiful).
The original architecture rightfully makes this madrasah one of the business cards of the city. The place deserves a visit, but... I understand that Bukhara is a trading city, but when almost every historical building sells all sorts of junk, it gets boring...

A small attraction unlike the already familiar mosques, madrasas and caravanserais. The question is a little confusing- what is the ticket for ...... but as everywhere I hope for the preservation of the monument.....
You can climb on the roof..... but here, apart from the photos against the background of the minarets..... in short, there are no special types. Complements and undoubtedly is an additional center of attraction of the collapse flea market with the attributes of Soviet antiquity....... You can stick it in for a long time remembering your childhood.
Cozy, intimate space. Opposite is a junk shop. Inside, as everywhere, there is a souvenir trade. Climbing to the 2nd floor for 5000 does not make sense. The building is beautiful. It's worth a visit.
Компактное медресе с знаковыми 4 башнями, очень красиво смотрится, находится чуть в удалении от основных достопримечательностей, когда я была, июль 2023, было закрыто, осмотр только снаружи.
One of the smallest and at the same time the brightest monuments of Bukhara. I don't recommend climbing up, you can't see anything anyway. You can't find it without a map!
Чорминор(4башни) это народное название. довольно хорошо сохранилось здание, внутри находится магазин сувениров. Напротив чорминора маленькая сувенирная лавка, ассортимент составляют в основном вещи времён СССР. Большая коллекция монет, бумажных денег, значки, медали, военные мундиры, а также чапаны. Хозяйка барахолки неуравновешенная женщина, лебезящая перед Интуристами, и строго наблюдающая за местными туристами. Тому наверное есть объяснение(покупают дорогую старину в очновном Интурист)
A pretty little madrasah in the city. We were in the evening, it looks beautiful in the sunset rays. They weren't inside. Either it was too late or there was no access at all, I did not understand.
Одно из старейших медресе Ташкента и, пожалуй, самое известное и посещаемое. Этому, наверное, способствует и нахождение в непосредственной близости от медресе самого знаменитого рынка Ташкента - Чорсу.
По внешнему виду и величию медресе, конечно, уступает центральным медресе Самарканда - Мирзо Улугбека и Шердор.
Но, тем не менее, объект имеет важное значение для столицы и, несомненно, представляет интерес.

Very colorful. A beautiful rose garden next to the madrasah. Unusual architecture. There are residential buildings around. In principle, everything is as it should be. But something was missing for me... Maybe the cloudy weather affected the perception of the place.
Одно из моих самых любимых мест. Небольшой, ухоженный садик рядом. Можно подняться наверх за 5 000 сум. Рядом располагается точка продаж старинных вещей.
Интересное и калоритное место. Рекомендую к посещению 2 раза. Днëм и после 20:00.Днëм полюбоваться архитектурой и сходить рядом в антикварную лавку. Вечером полюбоваться подсветкой. Вечернее посещение займëт не более 10 мин.
Прекрасное историческое место недалеко от Старого Города. Спасибо большое Мансуру и его супруге за то, что поддерживают здесь чистоту и всегда тепло встречают гостей!
Bukhara is authentic and pleasing to the eye
For a nominal fee (a man has a shop with goods at the bottom, asks for 5000 soums), you can go upstairs. We were happy with everything. Under the top is a domed library.
We walked during the day, we didn't see the backlight.
