Very little is known about the 13th century Djuma Mosque in Bukhara, as it has been completely rebuilt several times since its completion. There is evidence that it had a spacious inner courtyard, which was lined with galleries. Its minaret, which was erected in 1127 AD, still exists today and still dominates the silhouette of Bukhara.

In Soviet times, the Mir-i-Arab was the only madrasa that was allowed to operate throughout the empire. It is currently still in active use; The inner courtyard is only occasionally open to visitors.
