Chor Minor

Chor Minor

     Hello everyone! Today is Tuesday, the second day of the week,  December 20. Our destination today was Chor Minor memorial complex. Today We gathered in front of the Labi Havuz  at 14:00. Since we did not know where the Chor Minor memorial complex is located, we searched this place a lot. And finally we found that place. But we could not enter  the inner part of the Chor Minor memorial complex because it was locked.

 

    It was the turn of  Marjona and Sabina and me from the members of our group. We told about the construction history of this building. I gave information about the interior of this building.

 

    According to my facts :The towers of Chor Minor are not minarets. Three of them were used for storage, and one has a staircase leading to the top floor. All of them are topped by domes covered by blue ceramic tiles.Each of four towers have different decorational motifs. Some say that elements of decoration reflect the four religions known to Central Asians. One can find elements reminiscent of a cross, a Christian fish motif, and a Buddhist praying-wheel, in addition to Zoroastrian and Islamic motifs.

 

    According to Sabina's : " In 1995, due to an underground brook, one of the four towers collapsed and emergency assistance was applied for and granted by UNESCO under the World Heritage Fund. Although the collapse resulted in destabilizing the entire structure, the authorities were anxious to keep awareness of the disaster to a minimum. Without explanation the building disappeared from the list of sights and after hurried reconstruction of the tower using non-traditional building material, such as poor quality cement and steel.Chor Minor returned as one of the most popular sights of the city, yet the event has been kept secret ever since.

 

    Sabina and Marjona and Igave the necessary and interesting information about this building and based on the information they made questions. We tried to answer these questions correctly and completely. In conclusion, it was my first time to visi. Chor Minor Memorial Complex. I really liked that place. We took lots of pictures there. Around 15:30  p. m we left Chor Minor memorial complex and went home by bus. To be honest, today was a very happy and interesting day for me.
