I decided to visit Chor Minor Madrasa because it looked amazingly photogenic, having four turquoise domed minarets. I negotiated a price with a lady driving one of the little electric tourist buggies by the Kalon Mosque and off we went. It was interesting drive through some very much back streets but we arrived at the minaret after maybe 10 minutes and I walked around the outside. The pool next to the minaret was empty but the rose garden was pretty and the minaret was as gorgeous as expected and there were very few people there so it was easy to take photos. There was someone looking over the parapet so I guess you can climb up to the roof if you want to although there wasn't much nearby to see.

We took Yandex here after lunch at the plov , a souvenir shop inside the Chor minor madrasah. Need to pay a fee if you want to walk up the stairs inside the minor . Spend less than 30minutes here .

Just when we thought we had seen all the best madrasahs, mosques, mausoleums and minarets in 14 days travelling the incredible sites of Uzbekistan....here was our favourite, in the back streets of Bukhara. The rich beautiful turquoise colour contrasting with the stonework, and storks adorning one of them....just beautiful! Have read that this is the only place to see four such minarets together....not sure about that, but highly recommend a visit and photo or two.

Beautiful place that deserves to be taken care a bit better. Otherwise we enjoyed our walk around it! Located right in the middle of the Old city, we used Yandex Maps to get there. It takes around 10 minutes walk

This was the first site we saw in Bukhara as it was nearly directly behind our hotel. Our tour guide explained to us that the four minarets represent the four daughters of the ruler who had it built. Not sure if that is true, but I was fooled by the storks, which apparently left Bukhara after pools in the city were drained.

Attractive building with four minarets supposedly for the for daughters. One was clearly rebuilt but otherwise quite nice. Nest view is from outside. You have to pay to enter upstairs. Old mosque area on the side.
