KOI DARVOZA, OR THE GATES OF THE EAST..

Built in the th century, they are located in the rue Palvan Kari, which leaves the east gates of Ichan Kala. If their architecture recalls that of the doors of Ichan Kala, their appearance is much more massive and free from any coloured decoration.

Between Palvan Darvoza and Koï Darvoza there was a great bazaar where animals, horses, sheep, camels, and slaves were sold. Still today, a bazaar takes place in Dichan Kala, still very colourful but the goods fortunately changed. By leaving Ichan Kala by the East door, the bazaar is left and two minarets stand in the alignment of the door. The first is Sayyid Niyaz Shalikarbey Mosque. The whole was built between 1835 and 1845, making it one of the oldest minarets in Uzs. Its majestic summit decorated with irakis, small niches dug in the structure to give relief to the decorations, looks more like the minarets from the Registan to Samarkand than to other minarets in Uzs. A little further, the minaret Palvan Kari handed over 3 m to the first with a height of 21 m. More recently, it was erected in 1905 and takes its name from the rich merchant carrying out its construction as well as that of the adjacentes and adjacent mosque. A simpler architecture than the previous one, it seems more massive and its couronne crown less impressive. Looking towards Ichan Kala, we see the impeccable alignment of the two minarets of Dichan Kala, with the minaret of the mosque of Friday in Ichan Kala. A little further is the Abd-al Bobo mosque, which houses some old tombs, including the Khorezmshah Atsiza of Gurganj of the th Century. The mausoleum was built in the years following the Arab conquest to host the body of Abdal Bobo, from Bukhara and Great preacher in Uzs.
