View from behind of main dome, Kalyan Mosque, 1514, with Kalyan minaret, 12th century, in the background, Bukhara, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 9, 2010 in the afternoon. Built on the site of several predecessors (the original mosque dated from 795), the Kalyan Mosque is Bukhara's Friday mosque. The massive blue cupola on a mosaic drum tops the main chamber with its cruciform hall. The baked brick minaret is 48 metres high and its diametre is 9 metres at the bottom and 6 metres at the top. It was commissioned by Arslan Khan and designed by Bako. Bukhara, a city on the Silk Route is about 2500 years old. Its long history is displayed both through the impressive monuments and the overall town planning and architecture. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
