What to see in Gissar?
The history of Gissar began 40000 years ago: it is the main historical attraction and pride of Tajiks. In ancient times the city was the center of Samanid state. Until the 1920s it was the capital of Eastern Bukhara. When you come to Gissar, you should definitely get acquainted with such sights as:
- Gissar fortress is the largest architectural monument not only of Tajikistan but also of the whole Central Asia. The fortress was built by hand more than two thousand years ago. Its main decoration is the gate in the form of an arch created in the 16th century;
- An ancient madrasah was built in the 16th century and is still one of the main architectural landmarks of the country;
- Caravanserai Hotel. The guest house was built of brick in the early 19th century. At that time the state was ruled by Saidbi Atolik;
- stone mosque Chashmai Mohien was built in the VIII century, and in the XIV century it was completed with a tower and two porches;
- Sangin Mosque is a domed mosque, half of which is made of stone. Under the dome there are ceramic jars without bottoms. The building has original resonators to improve the acoustics;
- Mausoleum of Makhdoomi A’zam – located next to the old madrasah and was erected in the 16th century. The name of the mausoleum translates as “The Greatest Master”: it is not a name, but a nickname or title. There are several complexes in Central Asia that have this name: it is associated with religious and state figures. Who exactly is buried in the mausoleum is still unknown.
