Chor Minor Madrasah, or Four Towers, is a building of peri-Bukhara that excites the minds of architects with its unusualness. There are still debates about what the author intended, whether this is part of the gate or a full-fledged complete solution. The unusual appearance of four minarets, located closely along the perimeter of the madrasah, represents a clear architectural idea. Each minaret is different in both shape and decoration. Today, the meaning inherent in the structure is hidden from us, but two major theories try to explain the hidden metaphors - this is either the equality of the peoples of the four corners of the world, or the unity of four religions.

The second version is confirmed by many symbols on the walls inherent in certain religions that can be found in this place: a cross, a Christian fish, a Buddhist wheel. This religious complex has many premises for different purposes - both ritual and residential. The main building, decorated with towers, is a mosque.

Today, the attraction has not lost its significance, having become part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting travelers from all over the world.

One version says that the madrasah was built in the 18th century by Caliph Niyazkul, a wealthy Turkmen, who ordered construction to begin with his own money. Legend has it that the Caliph, having visited India, was so admired by the majestic Taj Mahal that he wanted to build a kind of copy of it on the Great Silk Road, where travelers could stay for physical and spiritual rest.

However, the archives argue with this statement, telling that the Khalifa madrasah was built earlier - at the end of the 17th century.

According to its purpose, this simply decorated room served for daily prayers, which were performed five times a day. The hall was crowned with a domed ceiling, which gave it the image of a zikr-khona, a room for ritual ceremonies of religious chapters, chants and preaching activities. At the entrance there is a small courtyard, traditionally decorated with a small house, a pond, the walls of which are lined with stone blocks.

Amazing forms, unusual architectural solutions, and the special spiritual significance of this place attract many travelers to the madrasah.
