Turki Jandi

                           Turki Jandi 

In our first day of our practice, we went to the Turki Jandi " mausoleum. It is located the north side of Bukhara center. We went there from 68- bus. When we went, the weather was very terrible cold. This place is very beautiful and historical. A lot of people come there for praying and enjoying architecture. 

You can see the great architecture from this photo which is belong Turki Jandi.

The real name of  the Turki Jandi Abu Nasr Ahmad ibn al-Fazl Muso al Jandiy. And in this place, there are grave of Turki Jandi

Also there are well for water .

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The exact age of the structure is uncertain, but Badr and Tupev note that unpublished excavation reports from 1971-72 suggest the current edifice was constructed in the mid-16th century, with evidence of three other building periods, two earlier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
