    Minaret Kalyan Kalyan Minaret (Minâra-i Kalân) is a minaret of the Po-i-Kalan Mosque complex in Bukhara, Uzbekistan and one of the most prominent landmarks in the city. This minaret designed by Bako, was built by the Qarakhanid ruler Mohammad Arslan Khan in 1127 to summon Muslims to prayer five times a day. Burkhara, Uzbekistan🇺🇿

    Minaret of the Po-i-Kalyan mosque complex. 48 m tall structure built in 1127 to summon Muslims to prayers 5 times daily. Genghis Khan spared this tower from destruction as he was impressed by its structure. Also known as Tower of Death as criminals were thrown from the top in 12th century

    As a woman so interested in the history of death this is a pretty neat place to see. All the way until only about 100 years ago it was used for the execution of prisoners. They would throw them from the top. Oh yeah. I guess the call of prayers was done from here and Ghengis Khan liked it too but the cool part is the death history to me. I haven't gone up any minarets while here in Uzbekistan. I haven't thought it worth it. It's just a bunch of stairs, but I'd climb these stairs. If you're reading this and you can let me climb the stairs please write me. I want to go up there.

    The minaret is a fabulous structure, so impressive that Chingiz Khan spared it from the general destruction he ordered for the rest of the city. The minaret foundations are 10m deep which probably helps explain why it has survived all the earthquakes as it stands nearly 50m tall! It was the first building to use the turquoise tiles for decoration that became so prevalent under the Timurids and all the other decoration is composed of bands of baked bricks. It is best to visit at night when the illumination highlights the baked brick decorations.

    Three functions historically, a minaret that accompanied the mosque, then when the mongols came it was a watch tower, then a lighthouse during the soviet period. Beautiful square worth visiting the adjacent buildings too and the old city where it is situated. You can go up it for a small fee. At night it is light up and quite nice to visit with the sunset

    Quite a sight. We went to see the minaret several times at different times of day. Seeing it and the rest of the buildings both at sunset and at night when it’s lit up are a must. Our guide book also stated that it was so beautiful, even Genghis Khan didn’t want to tear it down and spared it from the rest of the city’s destruction. Highly recommend!

    Bukhara, An Ancient City, Oct - 23 After crossing the border from Turkmenistan I came to this ancient Silk Route City of Bhukara in Uzbekistan. Bukhara is an ancient and Cultural city it came into popularity during the time of Silk Route and the rise of Islamic Scholars from this part of the world. Bukhara is filled with historical monuments such as mosques, madrassas,minarets, old bazaars that still is operating till today. Bukhara is famous for the kalon minaret which is so beautiful that when Chenzis Khan conquired bukhara he destroyed everything yet spared this minaret. A char minar smiliar to India is also located here but the architecture is more uzbek or oguz. Bhukahara was a great center for learning mirza ulugbeg bulit a school for religious and scientific studies here. Which has many contributions to modern astronomy and medical science. Even the great Islamic scholar who complied the saying of the prophet imam bhukari was also from this city. Even Mullah nasiruddin the witty guy about whom we all read in our childhood is from bhukahara. Last thing the present imam of Jama masjid, Delhi is has Bhukarari surname and have migrated from here. I hope you like the pics. Thanks and Regards.

    Walking around the history 12th century minaret reminds the ups & down of civilization, rule, devastation, hold of power, destruction & construction. Razed by Changez khan by leaving the minaret is the only structure reminds the past glory. Many comes & gone but it stood as witness the time since then. A beautiful place to visit & get yourself visit back in time

    A beautiful place with an impressive Minarett which speaks of the construction skills and great culture of the Bukhana Khanate in past times. Nearly a millenium old it shows the economic power of the silk roads in the era of Arslan Khan.

    The sight as you turned around the corner totally took my words away. I was literally gasping. I did not know it was this huge. Very clean and well kept. Bukhara tourist area is beautiful and akin to a European city. Totally worth the trip. Waited till sunset to see it lit up. Another wow again. It was truly magically.

    I want to leave a nice suggestion: it’s not true that you cannot go inside the minaret, or that you need the permission of the Uzbek ministry of tourism. It’s easy: you have to go inside the mosque and there there is the access (going up and passing through a bridge without railings that you can see from outside the mosque). The issue is that you have to accept the “guided tour” of people you can find inside the mosque, paying a little, and that’s all. Don’t believe me? Just have a look at the minaret and you’ll see people on the top

    We didn't get in. Maybe it's not allowed to get inside. But it doesn't matter) The size, grace and beauty of this tower, sorry, minaret impresses deeply! You have to try to find the right spot to take a photo of the entire building. I was lucky, and the square was empty. You don't need to "erase" people in the photo after)). If you are lucky to get inside - I'm sure it's worth it.

    (Translated by Google) The guide explained: The Emir had cruel executions and stonings carried out, the princes watched from their own building. The worst punishment was falling from the great minaret to death. The delinquent was put in a sack and thrown down. The tsar criticized this, after which the delinquents were no longer plunged down, but their throats were slowly cut open. The last time a delinquent was toppled to death in 1873. When visiting St. Petersburg, the emir fell in love with a woman named Olga. She traveled to Bukhara. Had the Emir given himself quite cultivated in Russia, Olga was so horrified after a short time, what happened as an amusement in Bukhara that she Bukhara towards St. Petersburg again by train, which was built in 1888 between the two cities of Russia, left. This angered the emir so much that he had four people beheaded and had the well-packed heads sent to Olga. The minaret is nice anyway. (Original) Die Führerin erklärte dazu: Der Emir ließ grausame Hinrichtungen und Steinigungen durchführen, die Prinzen sahen von einem eigenen Gebäude zu. Die schlimmste Strafe war, vom großen Minarett in den Tod gestürzt zu werden. Der Delinquent wurde in einen Sack gesteckt und hinunter geworfen. Der Zar kritisierte das, daraufhin wurden die Delinquenten nicht mehr hinunter gestürzt, sondern es wurde ihnen ganz langsam der Hals aufgeschnitten. Das letzte Mal wurde 1873 ein Delinquent zu Tode gestürzt. Bei einem Besuch in St. Petersburg verliebte sich der Emir in eine Frau namens Olga. Die reiste nach Buchara. Hatte sich der Emir in Russland ganz kultiviert gegeben, war Olga nach kurzer Zeit so entsetzt, was sich in Buchara als Belustigung abspielte, dass sie Buchara in Richtung St. Petersburg wieder per Eisenbahn, die 1888 zwischen den beiden Städten von Russland erbaut worden war, verließ. Das erzürnte den Emir dermaßen, dass er vier Menschen köpfen und die gut verpackten Köpfe zu Olga schicken ließ. Schön ist das Minarett trotzdem.

    (Translated by Google) The Kalyan minaret was built in 1127 by Mohammad Arslan Khan, who was a great city developer. The minaret survived Genghis Khan invasions such as the Ismail Samani Mausoleum. The 47-meter-high Kaljan Minaret stunned Genghis Khan so much that he refused to order its destruction, so he could still serve as a central element of the city in Po-i-Kalyan Square. According to some sources, there was a small minaret in this place that collapsed. The architect (Maleus Tabaka) did not have to worry, as the monument safely withstood nearly nine centuries of wear and occasional abuse, yet one legend said the architect was dissatisfied with his work and asked to be buried 47 meters from the minaret (as well as its height). to have the minaret fall on his head - as a punishment after death. In the early 20th century (1920), Bolshevik shots damaged the minaret in several places, but its stability was not damaged. The complete restoration took place in 1997, coinciding with the supposed 2500th anniversary of the city’s existence. At the Kalyan Minaret, the decorative focus is almost entirely on the brick wall. The glazed tile was not used to enliven the design. The tower was probably used as an observation station or even a beacon, but also to call Muslims to prayer. There was a time when people sentenced to death were dropped from above. It has a diameter of 9 meters at the base and 6 meters at the top. A spiraled 105-member flight of stairs goes up to the top. Until recently, tourists had the opportunity to get to the top, but this is no longer available to visitors. (Original) A Kalyan minaret, melyet Mohammad Arslan Khan épített, aki nagyszerű városfejlesztő volt, 1127-ben. A minaret túlélte Dzsingisz kán invázióit, mint például az Ismail Samani mauzóleum. A 47 méter magasan álló Kaljan minaret annyira meghökkentette Dzsingisz kánt, hogy elutasította a megsemmisítése elrendelését, így a város központi elemeként szolgálhat a Po-i-Kalyan téren még ma is. Egyes források szerint ezen a helyen egy kis minaret állt, amely összeomlott. Az építésznek (Maleus Tabaka) nem kellett aggódnia, mivel az emlékmű biztonságosan ellenállt majdnem kilenc évszázados kopásnak és alkalmi visszaéléseknek, ennek ellenére egy legenda szerint az építész elégedetlen volt alkotásával és kérte, hogy 47 méterre a minarettől temessék el (ugyanúgy, mint a magassága), hogy a minaret a fejére essen - halál utáni büntetésként. A 20. század elején (1920) a bolsevik lövések több helyen megrongálták a minaretet, de stabilitása nem sérült. A teljes helyreállítás 1997-ben történt, egybeesve a város fennállása, feltételezett 2500. évfordulójával. A Kalyan minaretnél a díszítő hangsúly szinte teljes egészében a téglafalra helyezkedik. A mázas burkolólapot nem használtak a formatervezés élénkítésére. A tornyot valószínűleg megfigyelőállomásként, vagy akár jelzőfényként használták, de arra is, hogy a muszlimokat imádságra hívják. Volt idő, amikor a halálra ítélt személyeket fentről ledobták. A talpnál az átmérő 9 méter, a tetején pedig 6 méter. Egy spirálban elrendezett, 105 tagú lépcsősor felmegy a tetejére. A közelmúltig a turisták számára lehetőség volt a tetejére jutni, de ez már nem elérhető a látogatók számára.

    This magnificent minaret seems so simple from a distance, but as you approach it, so many fine details reveal that you can't help but be fascinated. Fortunately for us, Chinggis Khan was also astonished by the grandeur of this minaret and ordered not to destroy it. Honor where credit is due, and in this case honor is due to Usto Bako, the architect of the Kalon minaret (and also to Arslan Khan, the Karakhanid ruler who commissioned the build in 1127). With a height of 47 meters (in its time it probably was the tallest building in Central Asia) you cannot miss this beauty.

However, if you come around 8-9 am, you'll have less people around. Currently, the mosque is close inside but the Minaret is definitely a must-see for Bukhara.

  • 5/5 Phoenix 1 year ago on Google
    There are many ancient monuments in Bukhara Sharif. Each of them is precious. Each of them seems to be a silent witness of what kind of people our ancestors were. In fact, it is. Here, take Kalon Tower. Kalon Tower was built in 1127 under the guidance of the architect Usta Baqo, according to the decree of the last Karakhanid ruler, Arslan Khan. Its height is 47.5 meters, and its diameter is 9 meters. This monument with 105 steps was once called the Arslan Khan Tower. It is not surprising that it was later named Minorai Kalon (Big Tower) due to its popularity and height. If you draw a picture, it reminds you of the beautiful figure of a person. Some historians say that Adam was sixty feet tall, and Kalon Tower was built in the same size. Kalon Tower was a beacon for trade caravans in ancient times, - says Shodmon Hayitov, professor of Bukhara State University, Doctor of History. A lamp was lit on it at night. The tower was visible from afar for the caravans traveling along the Great Silk Road. The call to prayer was read there. In addition, the tower served as a warning against the enemy's invasion. As soon as the army of Yav was seen from the skyscraper tower, it began to take defensive measures... In 2027, it will be exactly 900 years since the construction of Minorai Kalon.

    (Translated by Google) It is 9 m deep above the ground, 46.5 m high, the seat is angled, the body is round, and the top is connected by a round cage-dome. The tower narrows upwards and ends with a muqarnas. You can see the surroundings through the 16 arched windows in the cage. Upstairs, 104 steps inside the tower lead through a spiral staircase. The mosque was a bridge over the minaret by Kalon. Both the core and the decoration of the Kalon Minaret are made of chorsi bricks (27x27x4x5 cm) in ganchhok clay. Depending on the location of the decorative brick, it has a different shape and a smooth surface. The overlapping ornate rings of various hand-shaped shapes are framed by brick dandelions. Among the ornaments are Kufic inscriptions of historical and religious content. Each of the blue vinegar rings under the muqarnas is decorated in a different handasavi form (later spilled). The Kalon Minaret is one of the oldest such buildings. The similarity and proportion of the shapes, the harmonious harmony, the magnificent splendor and majesty give the Minorai Kalon a real beauty. (Original) Yer sathidan 9 m chuqur, balandligi 46,5 m, kursisi qirrador, tanasi gʻoʻlasimon, tepasi gumbazli davra qafasa-koʻshk bilan bogʻlangan. Minora yuqoriga ingichkalashib boradi va muqarnas bilan tugaydi. Qafasasidagi 16 ravoqli darchalar orqali atrofni kuzatish mumkin. Tepaga minora ichidagi 104 pillapoya aylanma zina orqali chiqiladi. Masjidi Kalon tomonidan minoraga oʻtiladigan koʻprikcha boʻlgan. Minorai Kalonning oʻzagi ham, bezagi ham chorsi gʻisht (27x27x4x5 sm) ganchxok loyida terilgan. Bezak gʻishti oʻrniga qarab turli shaklda, sirti silliq pardozlangan. Ustma-ust joylashgan turli xil handasaviy shakldagi bejirim bezakli halqalari gʻishtin dandanalar bilan hoshiyalangan. Bezaklar orasida tarixiy va diniy mazmundagi kufiy yozuvlar uchraydi. Muqarnas ostidagi moviy rang sirkor halqalarning har biri turli xil handasaviy shaklda bezatilgan (keyinchalik toʻkilib ketgan). Minorai Kalon shu turdagi qadimiy inshootlar orasida alohida oʻrin tutadi. Shakllarning oʻzaro monandligi va mutanosibligi, handasaviy uygʻunlik, ajoyib koʻrk va mahobatlilik Minorai Kalonga chinakam goʻzallik bagʻishlaydi

    (Translated by Google) The name simply means the great minaret. Built at the beginning of the thirteenth century by Arslan Khan and destroyed by bombing then an earthquake and restored by UNESCO. It is said that the emir was in a hurry to see it finished and put pressure on the architect which led the workers to hurry and the minaret fell on the small wooden mosque next door. The architect would have started again the foundations then he fled the city for 5 years to let the foundations dry and he returned then finish explaining his attitude to the emir. 48 meters high and containing 104 steps, the minaret served for the call to prayer but also as far for the caravans and sometimes to throw from the top of the rebels and condemned to death! No access for visitors because a German tourist fell up the stairs at high steps and broke his leg, then he wrote to the government explaining that it was dangerous to let people go up was in 2006! Since the minaret is closed !!! But you can enjoy it from the outside with its beautiful night illumination. (Original) Le nom veut dire simplement le grand minaret. Construite en début du treizième siècle par Arslan khan et détruire par les bombardements puis un tremblement de terre puis restauré par l’UNESCO. On raconte que l’émir était pressé de le voir fini et mettait la pression sur l’architecte ce qui a amené les ouvriers à se dépêcher et le minaret est tombé sur le petit mosquée en bois à côté. L’architecte aurait recommencé les fondations puis il a fui la ville pendant 5 ans pour laisser les fondations sécher et il est retourné ensuite finir en expliquant son attitude a l’émir. Haut de 48 mètres et contient 104 marches, le minaret servait pour l appel à la prière mais aussi comme far pour les caravanes et parfois pour jeter du haut des rebelles et des condamnés à mort! Pas d’accès pour les visiteurs car un touriste allemand est tombé en montant l’escalier aux marches hautes et il s’est cassé la jambe, puis il a écrit au gouvernement expliquant que c’était dangereux de laisser les gens monter, c’était en 2006 ! Depuis le minaret est fermé !!! Mais vous pouvez l’apprécier de l’extérieur avec sa belle illumination nocturne.
