The approx. 47 meter high Kalon Minaret is one of the landmarks of Bukhara and part of the Poi Kalon ensemble. It dates from pre-Mongolian times and was originally part of a mosque that was built under Muhammad Arslan Khan at the beginning of the 12th century. The mosque itself was destroyed during the Mongol invasion, but Genghis Khan is said to have been so impressed by the minaret that he spared it.

Very little is known about the 13th-century Djuma Mosque in Bukhara, which has been completely rebuilt several times since its completion. There is evidence that she had a spacious courtyard surrounded by galleries.

The Poi Kalon is a fantastic place. Definitely go there in the evening as well, as the buildings are illuminated.
