Khoja Zayniddin Mosque💫💫

 Hi, everyone👋. Today, with our coursemates we have visited to another incredible complex called Khoja Zayniddin Mosque. During the practice we have shared our knowledge with each other and Now l am going to share my experiences about this place.  The Hoja Zayniddin is a mid-16th century mosque located at the junction of two side streets 300 meters southwest of the Po-i-Kalyan square within the shahr-i-darun, or "inner city".  Although its interior houses the grandest dome in Bukhara, very little of substance is known about the origin of the building—both its sponsor and its architect have been lost to the mists of time. Even so, the quality of construction, its proximity to the heart of the city, and its large footprint strongly suggest it was a product of the city's ruling elite, or even of the Khan himself.Today, the mosque remains in active use and is an important contributor to the cultural fabric of the city and its residents. Like all mosques in central Asia, the ...
