🕌 Echoes Beneath the Sky – Kalan Mosque, Bukhara, Uzbekistan

#postandearn

📍 Kalan Mosque, Po-i-Kalyan Complex, Bukhara Old Town, Uzbekistan — opposite the Kalan Minaret

The Kalan Mosque stands as a breathtaking symbol of Bukhara’s Islamic heritage — vast, harmonious, and open to the sky. Built in the 16th century during the Shaybanid era, this architectural masterpiece could once hold up to 12,000 worshippers, making it one of the largest mosques in Central Asia.

With its majestic blue domes, arched galleries, and central courtyard, the mosque exudes balance and spiritual grandeur. Every corner reflects intricate tilework and symmetry, especially when viewed alongside the towering Kalan Minaret, which rises like a guardian from the sands of time.

🧭 Tips for Visitors:
• Best visited at sunrise or sunset when the stone glows with warmth
• Entry is usually free; respectful behavior and modest dress are essential
• Ideal for history lovers, photographers, and admirers of Islamic design
• Combine with a visit to Mir-i-Arab Madrasah just across the square
• Take time to stand in the center courtyard — the scale and silence are powerful
