Today we visited Kukeldash madrasah with my cousemates .  In Bukhara , near the famous historical complex Lyabi-hauz the well known architectural monument Kukeldash madrasah is located. It was built in 1568 - 1569 during the reign of Abdulla Khan second and was founded by Bukhara governor Kulbaba who ruled the city under several Khans and managed to maintain good relations with all of them.  For this close relationship with Khans the governor was given the title Kukeldash ; which of the highest standings in the Khans court and meant " a milk brother " . Later the madrasah named after him . Many people believe that Kukeldash madrasah is a part of the Lyabi-hauz complex but that is wrong . It was proved by historical excavation and  Kukeldash madrasah was also unique building of its time in terms of architecture. Virtually all the madrasahs then had the similar design of a solid rectangle with a large decorated portal and courtyard . Kukeldash madrasah has no solid walls ....

   We visited one of the most beautiful destinations in our country , it is called Minorai Kalon which is conviniently located in the historical part of the Bukhara It was built by a local architect named Bako.  His name is immortalized on the top ledge of the minaret. There is a legend about its construction. At differnt times the minaret served for different purposes .  The main one was religious - to call the faithful muslims to prayer. It was also used to punish people.  So it was called Tower of the death. It was very nice practical lesson , given that we learnt and gained an ample amount of thing . It can help us to speak well with the tourists . I really liked it.
