💕 Hello everyone ✋😇

😊 Do you want to know 🧐 ⛱️where we travelled today✨

Let' share with you🙃 intriguing information

😍 about the history of🏰 Palace🕌🤔

Sitora-i Mohi Khosa:

☀️The summer 🕌palace 🕌of

👑 Bukharan Emirs👑

The palace was first built by the third-to-last Emir of Bukhara, Nasrullah Khan. Nothing is left of that original palace😥, except for the name and the location. Nasrullah Khan was a mad and cruel khan🤨, but he💘 loved his wife💝💞 dearly. When she 🧕died in childbirth, he named the palace after her. He likened her ❤️beauty to the moon🌒, her name was Sitorabonu. Thus it became Sitora-i Mokhi Khosa Saroy, the palace of a star like the moon. (🌟sitora 🌟means star,💫 moh means 🌙moon🌕).

It served the last Emir of Buxoro as a summer palace. It is already the third palace at this point, built by Alim Khan from 1912-1918.

In 1920, the Soviets drove Alim Khan off and he died in exile in Kabul, in 1944.

The main building is U-shaped. In the central part is the reception hall with the White Hall, which is also called the Hall of Mirrors.

The stucco work and alabaster carvings were applied by Shirin Muradov directly on the mirrors and not on masonry. At works in the palace, he froze to death his fingers which remained mutilated after that.

And now pay attention to the biographical video of Usta 👷

Alim Khan, the last emir of Bukhara

Alim Khan’s version of Sitora-i Mokhi Khosa has a unique style, fusing European and Oriental features. Russian architects designed the facades and external structures, while local artisans decorated the inside. The fine line between art and kitsch was crossed back and forth with abandon as artists from both sides pushed each other to present the best of their cultural traditions.

Increasingly russified, the emir of the ‘Dome of Islam’ now took his private train to frequent social events in St-Petersburg, where he could visit his son who was attending the military academy there (like his dad before him). The whole family holidayed in style in Crimea.

With his cosmopolitan lifestyle, the emir tried to balance the 2 worlds that were so painfully ripping apart all certainties between them, as the modern collided with the medieval; listening in at a scientific salon in the tsar’s Winter Palace one day, discussing 14th-century theology with the mullahs in the Kalon Mosque the next.

According to the statistics the damage was brought because of reconstruction was

😱 $28 million $😲
