Fayzobod-Chanaqa

The Fayzobod-Chanaqa is a Chanaqa in the Uzbek city ​​of Buxoro . It is located outside the historic center of Buxoro about 2 kilometers east of the Ark Citadel and about 1 kilometer northeast of Chor Minor .

The Chanaqa was built by Sufi Mawlono Faysobodi between 1598 and 1599. Originally called Schochi Achsi, it was later renamed after its builder.

The facade is divided into three parts: in the middle the high Pischtak with Iwan (architecture) , on each side a two-storey single-axis pointed arch arcade, and on the outside a single-axis pointed arch opening. Behind the three middle parts is a high hall with a dome . To the side of the domed hall there are single-storey arched galleries, each with five flat domes arranged one behind the other.
