Chor-Bakr, Islamic necropolis in Sumitan village near Bukhara, Uzbekistan
The memorial complex spans 40 hectares and contains 25 structures including mausoleums, a mosque, a madrasah, and a minaret surrounded by fruit gardens.
Construction began in 1559 when Shaybanid ruler Abdullaxon II dedicated 70,000 gold coins to build a memorial at Abu-Bakr-Said's burial site from 970 AD.
The central mausoleum features inscriptions from Surah Al-Baqara on its facade and contains a prayer niche oriented toward the qibla direction.
The complex includes multiple courtyards connected by corridors, with the main courtyard measuring 20 meters in length and a 12-meter-wide entrance.
Two parallel five-kilometer ditches connect the complex to Bukhara, created as shaded pathways for Abdullah-Khan's visits to the necropolis.
