Bibi-Hanym Mosque

Registan

It was built at the turn of the 14th-15th centuries in honor of a favorite wife from Amir Timur’s harem. A total of three mosques were included in the complex: the large main mosque with a blue dome and two smaller ones. For the erection and finishing works the best masters of the East were invited. The yard was laid out with marble and surrounded with a covered gallery. The outer walls were covered with ornaments, the inner ones with carvings, patterns and mosaics. Now the reconstruction is in progress.
