Nadir Divan-begi madrasah
is a part of the architectural complex located 
round well-known Lyabi-Hauz in Bukhara. The madrasah building, as well as khanaka 
nearby, were named after vizier Nadir by whose order they were constructed. Vizier 
Nadir served at a court yard of one the strongest and powerful representatives of 
Ashtarkhanid dynasty Imamkuli-khan, who ruled in Bukhara in 1611-1642.
Samanids mausoleum 
was erected as a family crypt immediately after the death 
of Ismail Samani's father. Later, Ismail himself and his grandson Hasr were also buried 
in it. It is interesting to note that erecting crypts was against Islamic law at that time, 
for Islam forbade erecting any post-mortem monuments upon the tombs of Muslim 
believers.
Chashma-Ayub 
well means Saint Job’s Source. A legend has it that the Bible 
prophet Job, having visited this land, decided to help the people who suffered from 
water shortage in the desert. He struck the ground with his stick, making a source of 
crystal clear water sprang at that place.
Abdullaziz-khan madrasah

but with unordinary divergent fan of hudj groups after side ayvans and cupola buildings 
on the central axis.
Miri-Arab madrasah
is one of the best Bukhara sights of 16 century. 
Architecture and décor of Miri-Arab distinguish by highest culture and taste. At present 
in this monument, which underwent catastrophical destruction, portal and whole 
northern wing of main fasadewere restored up, cupola and yard-arcades construction 
were strengthen.
Magoki-Attori mosque
in the city's centre is an example of an urban mosque in 
a residential quarter. The mosque was built on the site of the pre-lslamic Moh temple 
mentioned above. Excavations have revealed the fact that even under the Samanids 
there was a six-pier mosque, which apparently was also domed.
Trading domes
are stretching in procession from Lyabi-Khauz to the Miri-Arab 
madrasah. Long ago, in the XVI century under the Shaybanides dynasty, Bukhara 
became the capital giving rise to unprecedented growth of the city, and since it was 
located on the Great Silk Road, the markets and trading stores even more congested 
cross-roads of public roads.
Ark Citadel
is a residence of Bukhara khans. According to the last excavations, 
it was determined the citadel was on this place from 4 century BC. For many years of 
building and destruction, 20 meters height artificial hill was formed; its upper layers 
were built over in the time of last Bukhara emirs.
