Sitorai Moxi Khosa Complex

 Day 11.

Sitorai Moxi Khosa Complex.

First of all, hello to everyone🙋🥰.

I want to talk about our practice 

today. Our destination today is 

Sitorai Moxi Khosa Complex.  

This complex is very beautiful 

and rich in scenery. We met 

peacocks there and watched 

them.

We got some information about 

this Complex. According to the 

data, four kilometers north of 

Bukhara there is a wonderful and 

unique palace. At first glance, you 

will not notice that it is the 

residence of the Emir of the East 

or the Prince of the West. Why do 

you say that the reason is that the 

emir of Bukhara, Amir Said 

Olimkhan (1911-1920), who 

belonged to the Mangit dynasty, 

lived in this palace. Unfortunately,

  the emir's fate changed when 

Russian troops invaded Bukhara. 

Amir was forced to leave his 

luxurious palace and flee to the 

Kingdom of Afghanistan. In the 

same place, Amir died. in his time,

  Amir had everything: gold that 

mysteriously disappeared, a royal

  life, many awards, wives and 

dozens of concubines, and of 

course, a magnificent residence. 

The residence of Sitorai Mohi 

Khosa is divided into two parts : 

old (oriental style) and new 

(European style). the old palace 

was built in the 18th century. The 

new complex was built by Amir 

Said Olimkhan at the beginning of

 the 20th century. Not only the 

best architects of Bukhara, but 

also Russian architects were 

involved in the construction of 

the palace. therefore, the external

  and internal appearance of the 

palace is similar to the residences 

of Russia and European countries.

 The palace is divided into two 

parts for men and women. On the 

way to the Amir Palace, the first 

thing you will see is the 

luxuriously decorated gate. This 

gate, made in a way that is not 

typical of the architecture of 

Central Asia, will surprise you 

with its red and dark red 

decoration. means there is a pond

 in the middle of the settlement. 

In contrast to the hot weather of 

Bukhara, the climate of the 

settlement seems transparent. 

The exterior of the palace is 

decorated with decorative 

ornaments; fences with 

decorative vases are placed on the

 edge of the roof. one side of the 

building is decorated with a porch

 arch. The porch is decorated with

 pillars and its decorations are 

made in elegant turquoise colors. 

two lion statues are placed in one 

of the ceremonial entrance doors 

of the palace for protection. The 

interior of the mausoleum will 

attract you with its luxury, beauty 

and decorations. wall pictures, the

 colors radiating from them 

attract attention and you can't 

take your eyes off this beauty.

Among the interior rooms of the 

palace, there is a summer room 

with its stained glass windows, a 

wide-walled kitchen, a ministerial

 reception hall and a large white 

hall with glass walls. The walls of 

the hall are artistically decorated 

and it looks very luxurious. the 

amazing beauty of the rooms was 

realized by master Shirin 

Murodov and Hasanjon, masters 

and decorators of Bukhara. Each 

pattern is the personal skill of the 

artist.

The palace was decorated in the 

European and oriental style of 

that time. in the rooms you can 

see the unique beauty of the 

mirrors decorated in the Venetian

 and Japanese style; colorful 

decorations and mosaics, many 

art objects, jugs and sculptures, 

Bukhara carpets, magnificent 

hanging lights and antique 

furniture are used as 

complementary decorations.now, 

many luxurious interior 

decorations have become 

exhibits, and Amir's residence 

outside the city has become a 

museum of applied art.

Sitorai Mohi Khosa is 6.7 ha and 

consists of an old palace, 3 brick-

paved courtyards and many 

rooms. The Amir Muzaffarkhan 

Hotel here is distinguished by its 

wide, tall hall, balconies with 

balconies on both sides, and 

European doors and windows. 

Abdulahad Khan's room, which is 

divided into three parts and 

forms a murabba-shaped room, is 

connected by a high platform 

between 2 halls, which are placed 

opposite to each other and are 

decorated in the same way. The 

royal throne is placed on the west 

side of the platform. the main 

residence of Amir Olim Khan in 

the east of the old palace - a 

magnificent arched gate was 

installed in the new palace. The 

arch above the gate is made in a 

form not typical of Central Asian 

buildings, its sides are glazed,

covered with dark red, blue, 

yellow and light colored tiles. 

Along with traditional syrkor 

rivets, tile coverings imported 

from Russia were also used. The 

upper part of the gate is 

decorated with vase-shaped 

decorations. the two-tiered 

wooden gate is carved with 

national motifs and reinforced 

with copper flower nails, and an 

elegant floral zulfin is installed.

We learned a lot about our 

destination today. Apart from the 

cold weather, our practice was 

great.
