Day 8.TOQI ZARGARON.

 Our today's excursion was to Toqi ZARGARON which served as karvansaray in the past.


It was built in the 16th century more precisely in 1586 -1587 during the reign of Abdullah Khan2 from the uzbek Sheibanid dynasty. It was the largest among several ancient covered bazaars of Bukhara  and the most complex in construction and arrangement in the city. 



Until the middle of 20th century, it was used as an ordinary  bazaar,where mainly jewelry was sold ,but part of the bazaar was used as an ordinary bazaar, where various accessories were sold.

The building of the covered bazaar was built in the traditional Persian style,  and is no different from similar covered traditional bazaars in ancient cities of Iran,  such as Tehran, Isfahan,  Shiraz,  Tabriz or Mashhad..


The name of Toqi ZARGARON comes from the Persian and Tojik languages and is translated as the dome of jewelers. It  housed a large number of jewelry workshops. Warehouses,  caravanserai,hotels,  shops of merchants were built around the building of bazaar. 



Thanks for attention to all of you 🙂 😘 ☺ 😊 🤗 💕.
