Po-i-Kalan: The Majestic Heart of Bukhara.

Po-i-Kalan, meaning "Foot of the Great," is a stunning Islamic religious complex located in the historic center of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. It stands as a symbol of the city’s rich spiritual heritage and architectural brilliance. Dominating the skyline is the iconic Kalan Minaret, built in 1127, which once guided caravans on the Silk Road and still captivates visitors with its elegant brickwork and towering presence.

The complex comprises three main structures: the Kalan Mosque, the Mir-i-Arab Madrasah, and the Kalan Minaret. The Kalan Mosque, one of the largest in Central Asia, was rebuilt in the 16th century and can accommodate up to 10,000 worshippers. Its vast courtyard, adorned with a central domed pavilion and exquisite tilework, offers a tranquil space for reflection.

Directly facing the mosque is the Mir-i-Arab Madrasah, a working Islamic school built in the early 16th century under Ubaydullah Khan. Its facade is richly decorated with blue and turquoise tiles, making it one of the finest examples of Timurid-influenced architecture in Bukhara.

Today, Po-i-Kalan continues to inspire awe with its harmony, scale, and historic significance. It is not only a spiritual center but also a cultural treasure, inviting travelers to step into the golden age of Islamic architecture in...

Bukhara is one of the most charming and ancient cities in Uzbekistan, preserving the true soul of the legendary Silk Road. The city is rich in history, with hundreds of Islamic architectural monuments, turquoise domes, and colorful traditional bazaars.

Walking through the old town feels like stepping back in time . Iconic landmarks such as the Ark Fortress, Poi Kalyan Complex, and Lyabi-Hauz showcase the city’s majestic beauty.

The people of Bukhara are warm, friendly, and incredibly hospitable — always ready to offer you a cup of traditional green tea. The local cuisine is another highlight, featuring delicious dishes like plov, samsa, and freshly baked bread that fills the streets with a wonderful aroma.

Bukhara is not just a travel destination; it’s a journey into the heart of Central Asian culture, religion, and art. If you love history, architecture, and peaceful...

Özbekistan’da özellikle Buhara şehrinde yer alan ve tarihî önemiyle öne çıkan Kalan Minaresi ve Kalan Meydanı (Po-i-Kalon Kompleksi), Orta Asya İslam mimarisinin en etkileyici yapılarından biridir. Şimdi sana detaylı bir şekilde açıklayayım:

⸻

🕌 Kalan Minaresi (Kalon Minarasi / Kalon Minare)

📍 Nerede? • Buhara, Özbekistan’ın tarihi ve kültürel açıdan en zengin şehirlerinden biridir. • Kalon Minaresi, Buhara’daki Po-i-Kalon isimli bir dini yapılar kompleksinin parçasıdır.

⸻

📜 Tarihi • Yapım Yılı: 1127 yılında Karahanlılar döneminde inşa edilmiştir. • Yaptıran: Karahanlı hükümdarı Arslan Han. • Amaç: Hem ezan okunması hem de şehrin görkemini göstermek amacıyla yapılmıştır.

⸻

🧱 Mimari Özellikler • Yükseklik: Yaklaşık 46,5 metre (o döneme göre olağanüstü yüksekliktedir). • Malzeme: Tuğla ile örülmüştür, ancak bezeme detayları çok zengindir. • Desenler: Minarenin yüzeyi, geometrik desenlerle işlenmiş tuğlalarla süslenmiştir. • Dayanıklılık: Yüzyıllar boyunca depremler ve savaşlara rağmen ayakta kalmayı başarmıştır.

⸻

📌 İlginç Bilgiler • Cengiz Han’ın Saygısı: 1220 yılında Buhara’yı işgal eden Cengiz Han, şehri yerle bir ettirmiş ama Kalon Minaresi’ne hayran kalıp ona dokunmamıştır. Rivayete göre, “böyle bir eseri yıkmak tanrılara saygısızlık olur” demiştir. • “Ölüm Minaresi”: Bir dönem idamlar burada gerçekleştirilmiştir. Suçlular minareden aşağı atılırmış (özellikle Timur sonrası dönemlerde, bu anlatı yaygındır).

⸻

🕌 Po-i-Kalon Kompleksi (Kalon Meydanı)

📍 Anlamı ve Yapılar

“Po-i-Kalon”, Farsça kökenli bir terimdir ve “Büyük Ayak” ya da “Büyük Taban” anlamına gelir. Buradaki “Kalon” kelimesi “büyük” anlamına gelir.

Bu dini kompleks üç ana yapıdan oluşur: Kalon Camii (Kalan Cuma Mescidi) • 16. yüzyılda Şeybanîler döneminde yapılmıştır. • Özbekistan’ın en büyük camilerinden biridir. • Aynı anda 10.000 kişinin ibadet edebileceği büyüklüktedir. Mir-i Arab Medresesi • 1535 yılında Şeybanî hükümdarı Ubaydullah Han tarafından yaptırılmıştır. • Hâlâ faal olan dini eğitim merkezlerinden biridir. • Özellikle dinî ilimler ve Arapça eğitimi verilir. Kalon Minaresi • Yukarıda ayrıntılı anlatıldı.

⸻

🌇 Meydanın Önemi • Po-i-Kalon, Buhara’nın manevi ve sosyal merkezi olmuştur. • Özbekistan’da UNESCO Dünya Mirası listesinde yer alan Buhara’nın en önemli parçasıdır. • Geceleri aydınlatıldığında görsel açıdan büyüleyici bir...
