DAY 14

HELLO EVERYONE 👋👋👋

We reached one of the last days of our practice and today is the 17th of April. One day left our practice ends. So far our practice has been going really well. Through practice, we saw historical places we hadn't seen before and got a lot of interesting information. 😊😊😊 The weather is very nice as yesterday and our today's destination was Abdulaziz Khan Madrasah.

At the beginning of our trip, I saw twin girls. They almost looked like each other. I liked small children So, I liked them. They are beautiful and lovely.

I tried to gather more information about Abdulaziz Khan madrasah. Abdulaziz Khan Madrasah is a part of architectural ensemble of Ulugbek Madrasah, however, it is much bigger and more beautiful. The portal of madrasah is decorated with rich patterns, in the decoration of which was used yellow paint. There were also used different technologies during the construction of the building: carved tile and mosaic, relief majolica, carved marble, gilding.

There are pictures of Chinese dragon and bird of happiness Semurg on the walls, here you can also read poems of famous poets. Madrasah has two mosques - winter and summer, the walls and ceiling decoration is extremely luxury. In 1988 there was built museum exhibition, where were presented dervishes’ staffs, carved doors, boxes and more.

In the XV-XVIII centuries the woodcarver’s era prospered in Central Asia. There is an art carving in the decoration of mosques, madrasas, headstones, gates, etc. It is known that Ulughbek was not only famous ruler but the great scholar and patron of the sciences. His first madrasa was built in 1417 in Bukhara. Abdulaziz Khan Madrasah was his last monumental building in the capital of the Bukhara Khanate.The madrasah of Abdulaziz Khan was built in Bukhara in 1652, 235 years later than the Ulugbek Madrasah. Contrary to tradition, it becomes a part of the architectural complex without inheriting the design of the attraction that had been constructed earlier. From the very beginning, it was planned to create a luxurious madrasah that would absorb the skills of the best architects of that time in order to amaze and delight people with its beauty and decoration. According to available information about that period, Abdulaziz Khan was known for his bravery and generosity. It is equally important that he was a lover of science and education. This is confirmed by the fact that one of the most beautiful libraries with manuscripts was collected during his reign. Another evidence is the madrasah build by his order.

The entry portal is a particularly remarkable part of the madrasah. It is not only large but also decorated with an incredible ornament. Two floors of arches are typical for a madrasah, but the decoration strikes the imagination. The second level of ogival balconies is made in the form of numerous niches decorated with paintings and ornaments. The same ornament leads your gaze the top of the ogival arch, which gets smaller and more elegant with each new level. The side parts of the main entrance are only half decorated.

In Ulugbek madrasah's wall we saw view. It looked like person's head but If you look first time , you can't see. If you look longer time by phone's camera, you can saw this view.
