With the introduction of Islam in VIII century on the territory of modern
Uzbekistan, an expressive Islamic architecture was shaped, based on the rich
local traditions. New types of religious constructions came up. Islamic
architecture in Uzbekistan was enriched during the period of 10th
–12th and of
14th
–17th centuries. It had common regional lines, as well as features from
local architectural schools of Bukhara, Samarkand, Khwarazm and Fergana.
Among the various types of architectural structures, the most widespread are
the portal-domed compositions for mausoleums, khanaqahs, maqsuras, etc.,
courtyard-iwan structure for Jamie-mosques, madrasahs, rabats and most
memorial complexes.
There were three basic types of mosque constructions: quarter, Jami-mosques
and celebratory mosques, musallas or namazgahs. Minarets also had local
features in the form of a lantern and a decor of a cylindrical trunk.
Mausoleums were actively constructed from the end of 9
th century up to the
15th century but during 16th
–17th centuries, the practice was abandoned.
Madrasahs became known here from the 10th century onwards. Earliest three
of them, built by Ulugbek in 15th century have remained in Bukhara,
Samarkand and Gijduvan. Khanaqah–based on a portal-domed structure with
a spacious central prayer hall called dzikr-khana, played the role of
monasteries and prayer hall for Sufis. From the 15th
–17th centuries, most
monumental khanaqahs were popular here. The Naqshbandi sufi order was
constructed. More than 2,200 monuments of Islamic architecture dating from
9
th
–20th centuries have been preserved in Uzbekistan. Most of them are
located in large cities along the Great Silk Road as Bukhara, Samarkand,
Khiva and Shakhrisabz are included into the World Heritage List of
UNESCO.
