Bukhara

Low angle view of octagonal pavilion, Kalyan Mosque, 1514, Bukhara, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 9, 2010 in the morning. Built on the site of several predecessors (the original mosque dated from 795), the Kalyan Mosque is Bukhara's Friday mosque. Its plan is an open rectangle with four courtyards and seven entrances. A colonnaded arcade and 288 domes surround the vast central courtyard and one huge blue dome rises from the West side of the building. In front of the portal of the Main Building is an octahedral pavilion-rotunda which is use as a minbar for preaching. 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.
