I came across Chor Minor when I was walking in the old neighborhood of Bukhar. The name literally means four minarets and it dates back to the time that Bukhara was a part of the Persian empire. The structure is very interesting and eye-pleasingly beautiful. The four minarets are accessible through a very narrow staircase for a nominal fee. Great photo opportunities on the top.

Beautiful building, although the inside is much smaller than you'd expect from the outside. Nonetheless this is a gorgeous building and well worth the visit. Take off your shoes and sit inside for a while, and enjoy the architecture. The Imam is friendly and will chat if you know a bit of Russian.
