Today we went to 💞Ark fortress 😇.It's me and i am entering from entrance door of fortress which astonished me with high height and ancient patterns😍.Before I reached to our destionation our groupmates and dear teacher coped with the meeting with foreign tourist🙃

Now let's give some information about it

Ark-Citadel is a residence of Bukhara khans. According to the last excavations, it was determined the citadel was on this place from 4 century BC. For many years of building and destruction, 20 meters height artificial hill was formed; its upper layers were built over in the time of last bokharan emirs. The wooden part of Ark building was burnt down during the fire of 1920. The general planning is being reestablished by historical documents. Ark included the whole city, consisting of closely accreted houses; courts and yards with state institutions, emir, his wives, and relatives and officials lodgings. Inside the trapeziform outlines of citadel walls the planning was right-angled with traditional cruciform crossing of main streets.

Ark included: emir lodging, throe-room, police department, stables, stores of clothes, carpets, utensils, treasures, armoury, jail, jeweler’s and other workshops, mint place, mosques, mazars and other buildings. The first, you can see it is massive fortress gates of Ark - portal with two-storey towers by sides from arch aperture and latticed architecture gallery on top. Behind it there is a musical pavilion, built in 17 century, two-coloured audience chamber, surrounded by gallery. Here during a day there was performed a series of makoms – it is a musical work; through it people could know the time (it is tradition left from zoroastrizm time). From ayvan, tsarevitches was looking at solemnities and executions at Registan Square before Ark. To citadel inside leads from Ark gates the gloomy, arched and raising up passage-dalon. By its side there can be seen 12 niches, leading to damp dungeons, where prisoners were lauguishing. There were awful casemates and in dungeons under bridge of planks and Ark gates towers.

To the south of entrance from the dalon, there is the most interesting of reserved monuments – throne-room of Bukharan emir, drawing room for ceremonies and festivals. It was vast, brick-paved yard surrounded by ayvans on well-proportioned wooden pillars from 3 sides. On the long axis yard in deep ayvan there is emir throne. This marble “takht” dated to 1669, under painted, wooden canopy on fretted marble pillars, was made by Nuratian masters.

Lets tell you some interesting facts and also one legend (as I am keen on them🤩) about how the fortress was built🏯🏛️🛕

Amazing and fabulous, ancient and exotic, undoubtedly, originally oriental and magical - this is the "Noble abode" of the city of Bukhara. To feel all the antiquity of Bukhara and the magical atmosphere of the East, it is enough to plunge into the labyrinths of narrow streets and examine the ancient walls of houses, or, at least, feel the sweet air of an ancient bazaar soaked with an oriental bouquet of aromas. Falling in love with Bukhara forever is not difficult at all!

Ark Fortress From time immemorial, the city is surrounded by legends and myths. According to one legend, the settlement appeared on the site of the Ark fortress, built by the Persian Prince Siyavush. When the prince came to woo the daughter of King Afrasiab, the father set one condition for the young man.The young man should erect a fortification on the territory where the skin of one bull was placed, in this case the wedding will take place. A resourceful young man came up with a way to build a structure, observing the conditions set. He cut the skin into thin strips, tied them together and built a smaller replica of the palace inside this circle. So the construction of a full-fledged citadel began at this place.
