HISTORIC SITES Modari-Khan Mausoleum Initially, the Modari-Khan Mausoleum, which means “Mother of Khan” was a traditional Ferghana memorial construction –khazira. The architectural complex included a domed construction with a portal, a commemoration mosque, and a fenced courtyard where gravestones were placed. However, since its construction two centuries ago, only a splendid entrance pavilion survives. It is believed that kulol- ceramists from Rishtan, as well as local ganch fretwork craftsmen took part in decoration of the Modari-Khan Mausoleum. The Modari-Khan Mausoleum actually became the burial vault for Nadira herself. In the mid of 20th century, the remains were reburied in another place and a monument in the form of a white marble arch was constructed above the grave of the great Uzbek poetess - Nadira.

UZBEKISTAFERGHANA Valley HISTORIC SITES Mukimiy Museum The Mukimiy Museum is located in the madrassah of Mien Khazrat, an architectural monument erected in respect of Mien Akhad hailing from Peshavar (Pakistan). He is famous for his knowledge in theology and has been called to serve in the palace of the Kokand’s Khan. The madrassah’s main entrance has a domed darvozahona with carved gate whereas the southern part of the courtyard there is the multicolumned mosque and small minaret. The eastern and western courtyards are surrounded with khudjras (student rooms). The outstanding poet Aminkhudja Mukimiy lived and taught in this madrassah for many years. The museum exposition consists of three parts: Mukimiy’s khudjra, works of Mukimiy and the literature environment of Kokand in the second half of the16th century. Rishtan Ceramic Centre, Rishtan As far back as the beginning of the Common Era, caravan tracks connected this little town with the Great Silk Road arteries which ran through the ancient Ferghana Valley towns Kuva and Akhsykent. At the end of the 14th century, Rishtan masters began making semi-faience from the local clays – silicate kashina pottery. Covered with white glaze with patterns painted in light blue and turquoise, this pottery was called chini ‘Chinese’. In the 19th century, Rishtan masters would still make chini ceramics, which was in great demand. According to ancient beliefs, blue, the colour of water and sky symbolized happiness. The main secret of Rishtan masters is the very complicated and laborious process of making the potash ishkor glaze made from the ash of the herbs kirk bugin and choroynak which grow in the environs of the town. In 1900 Rishtan ceramics were among the exhibits at the World’s Fair in Paris where connoisseurs compared them to the best examples of European majolica. Some of Rishtan ceramics of those times enriched museum collections in many countries. Presently, there work in Rishtan about 50 master ceramists. Each of them has a shop where he works and sells his products. Location: 55, Rashidoni Street, Rishtan Ferghana Valley Contact: (+98873) 552 3869

HISTORIC SITES Location: Andijan Phone: (+98873) 552 3869 Jami Complex, Andijan Currently consisting of a madrassah, a mosque and a minaret, the 2000 year-old historical city of 1.5 hectares managed to survive the destruction resulting from natural disasters. A remarkable example of decorative and applied art of the Ferghana Valley is a highly artistic fretwork on the entrance door of the madrassah which features a deep three-planed vegetal design bordered with geometrical patterns. Presently, the building has been restored and houses the exposition of literature and art of Andijan Regional Museum of History. At the turn of the 19th or 20th centuries in the western part of Jami complex, there was a Friday mosque erected with huge dimensions- an example would be the main façade which had twenty-six arch openings. So far, the Andijan Jami Mosque has been considered the largest mosque in the Ferghana Valley. Even the minaret is the highest in the Ferghana Valley with a height of 32 metres dominating the surrounding construction. The Friday Jami mosque has recently opened its door for Muslim believers of Andijan. Babur Literary Museum / Location: 21, Bazernaya Street, Andijan Memorial Park Contact: (+998742) 225 7302 The Babur Literary Musuem, named after Babur, Operation Hours: 9am – 6pm was opened in 1989 on the site of his residence in (Closed on Sunday and Monday) celebration of the 460th year of publication of his Coordinates: autobiography entitled Baburnama, published 40° 44’ 42” N, 70° 21’ 36” E in English as the ‘Memoirs of Babur’. The building itself was once a madrassah and was destroyed during Great Mongol Empire invasion. Babur, who was once governor of Andijan, departed from the city. The building was restored later in the 18th century as a town hall, residence of the city’s ruling family. Since 1990, it has housed a literary museum detailing Babur’s poetry and prose, liberally sprinkled with reproductions of famous miniatures and paintings of chapters in his story. There are also exhibits of famous Andijani poetess Nadira Beg (1792-1842), wife of Umarkhan of Kokand.

UZBEKISTAFERGHANA Valley HISTORIC SITES Navoi Park This green haven of trees and boating ponds lies east of Babur Square. In the park’s northeast corner rests the gently decaying splendour of the residence of Akhmed Beg Khodja. This capitalist factory owner fled the Bolsheviks to China, leaving his 1897 home to become a folk museum. Since independence, its new role as office for Andijan Muslims does not prohibit visitors from wandering two storeys of living quarters and guest rooms. To the north is a brightly reconstructed mosque and madrassah complex, built on the site of the 1903 original. Elsewhere, the Bolalar Bogi (Children’s Garden) is a new fairground at the crossroads of Fitrat and Sharaf Rashidov. Marghilan / Chakar Mosque Islam has the tradition of replacing old timeworn cult structures with new ones of the same purpose. To construct a civil building on the site of a cult, one was considered blameworthy and sacrilegious. Thus, by tradition, in the early 20th century the new mosque Chakar replaced the old dilapidated Marghilan’s mosque. It says that the mosque was built in 1911 (Hijra 1329) and shows the names of the builders of the mosque, Usto Tukhtabek and Mir-Bobo Hajji of Hojent. The exquisite interior decoration of the building, especially the paintings of the plafonds, is a remarkable example of extraordinary skills of the Ferghana Valley craftsmen and makes Chakar Mosque a popular tourist attraction. Seieed Ahmad Hajji Madrassah One of the most peculiar ancient structures in Marghilan is Seieed Ahamad Hajji Madrassah. Its design is quite traditional for Ferghana Valley, a blind façade with an entrance leading into a square yard enclosed by rows of khudjra cells. Curiously enough, the local architects showed obvious awareness of European building technologies while building the roof of the mosque whereby the traditional coffering of the aivan rests on four carved pillars, standing in two rows. The large 7-meter- wide praying hall is covered with wooden trusses on which the hanging ceiling is mounted. This allowed more space in hall without pillars. The mosque is one of the few Ferghana Valley constructions with aivan and main hall ceilings being completely covered with decorative patterns. There are fine floral patterns on the aivan ceiling beams and small vassa wooden plates between them. The ceiling of the hall is covered with red and green stripes that serve as a background for exquisite patterns - floral ornaments enclosed by intricate design of winding sprouts.

HISTORIC SITES Yodgorlik Silk-weaving Mill The main Uzbek silk-weaving centers are in Ferghana Valley with Marghilan being its ‘silk capital’. For centuries, Marghilan silk was exported along the Great Silk Road arteries to Baghdad, Kashgar, Hurasan, Egypt, Greece, Byzantium and Russia. The ‘Yodgorlik’ silk-weaving mill in Marghilan is considered to be the best enterprise manufacturing handmade silk in Uzbekistan. Set up in 1972, the mill was then the biggest enterprise of such kind in Ferghana Valley. 15th years ago, the workers of the mill decided to revive the over 2500 year old ancient craft of handmade silk. At the mill, one can see the whole silk-making process from cocoons processing to finished product but it should be remembered that they use the traditional technology of making the fabrics by hand similar to the techniques used by Ferghana weavers in ancient times. Manual silk- weaving is a long and laborious process but at that mill, they still do make hard-to-make traditional Uzbek fabrics such as adras, jujincha, bekasam and the most popular abr fabrics: khan-atlas (king’s silk) and shoyee. You can see the process of making exquisite traditional Uzbek fabrics during an excursion around the mill. Those who wish to buy a length of gorgeous silk can do so on the spot. Pir-Siddik Architectural Complex The complex consists of a mosque, a minaret, Pir-Siddik’s mausoleum with a yard, and a pigeon-house. Arising from the unusual erection of pigeon houses, people nicknamed the complex Kaptarlik or ‘pigeon complex’. Pigeons are honoured in Marghilan as sacred birds. There are a number of legends related to the Pir-Siddik Complex. One of them tells about the miraculous rescue of Saint Pir-Siddik whereby during the assault on Marghilan, the saint hid in the cave and pigeons living there built a nest thus blocking the entrance. The attackers decided not to get in there, thinking that if the pigeons were calm, chances are nobody is in there. Therefore, the complex was built next to the saint’s mausoleum in the memory of that event. Zakhiriddin Babur Architectural Complex The complex comprises the monument to Zakhiriddin Mohammad Babur (fondly known as Babur, an outstanding writer, poet, and scholar, a talented military leader and statesman) and a theme museum “Babur and world’s culture” which displays many rare exhibits telling about rich historical legacy of the Baburid dynasty. A chairlift can ride a visitor to the top of the hill from which an unforgettable panorama of Babur’s native city opens up. In the southeastern part of Andijan, on Baghishamal Hill, where according to Babur himself there once stood his hijra with aivan, a park named after Babur was laid out. This park accommodates a magnificent architectural complexs and a garden full of plants brought from various parts of the world, more than 50 sorts of fruit and decorative trees line the alleys of the park.

UZBEKISTAFERGHANA Valley HISTORIC SITES Buddha Complex, Kuva For several years, the ancient settlement of Kuva on the northwest edge of Kuva District, Ferghana Province, was a site of active archaeological excavations. In the early Middle Ages, Kuba was a large trade and craft settlement where such crafts as pottery, metal-working and jewellery making were highly developed. The archaeological finds prove that the settlement appeared around 4 B.C. Kuba was Ferghana Valley’s important political and economical center until the 1300s when it was destroyed during Genghis Khan’s invasion in Central Asia. The ruins of the sanctuary and the other parts of the temple bear visible traces of fire. The excavations in Kuba proved that at the beginning of the Common Era, Buddhism was spread not only in today’s Surkhandarya Province where most of Buddhist monuments are located, but also further to the north in the FerghanaValley. Chust Knives ManufacturingWorkshop, Chust In the center of the ancient town of Chust, Namangan Province, there is a commercial quarter of suzangars (craftsmen) who manufacture knifes in their little smithies. Over here you can see ancient forges with bellows, anvils and sets of hammers, from a sledge-hammer for flattening red-hot steel bars to hammers for shaping pichok blades, tongs, files and many other smith’s tools. Since ancient times, the Uzbeks have believed that sharp objects have the power of amulets protecting their owners against misfortunes. Such a quality, according to a popular Uzbek belief, is inherent to the traditional knife pichok. A good blade of a pichok knife should be light gray and the handle should be proportionate to the blade as well as fit the palm comfortably. A well-forged knife easily cuts a flying hair. Its blade can serve for years by undergoing whetting on the bottom of a china tea-bowl. Uzbek knives always come with cases or sheaths made of thick fabric or leather and decorated with embroidery or appliqué, or embossing. Every sheath has a leather loop to let the owner fix it on his waist belt. The ancient settlement of Akhsykent, Namangan “In all Ferghana no fort is as strong as Akhsi. Its suburbs extend some two miles further than the walled town” - This is how Babur wrote about Akhsykent in his book Baburnama. In the times of Babur, Akhsi was the second largest city in the Ferghana Valley. Time and natural disasters had no mercy on it and today, the ruins of Akhsykent are buried under the huge mud hill 20km south-west of Namangan. Ancient Akhsykent was only 2km in perimeter but it grew into a large township encircled by the 18 kilometer-long outer wall with five gates. Archaeological excavations proved that there was in Akhsykent, a citadel with a splendid palace and a jail whereas in the shakhristan (inner city) there was a city mosque and bathhouses. On the bank of Syr Darya, there was a big square for Friday praying. Akhsykent was brought to rubbles in 1620 by a severe earthquake. The citizens who managed to survive this natural disaster moved to the northeast to the Namakkon settlement next to the salt-mines. Today, this settlement is known as Namangan.

The History Shakhrisabz is founded more than 2,700 years ago. Formerly known as Kesh translated as “Heart Pleasing”, it was part of the Achaemenid Empire. Alexander the Great’s general Ptolemy captured the satrap of Bactria and pretender to the Persian throne, Bessus, at Nautaca thus, ending the once great Achaemenid Empire. Alexander the Great chose to spend his winters here and met his wife Roxanna in the era between 328-327 B.C. Shakhrisabz was the birthplace of Amir Temur on 9th April 1336 to the family of a minor local chief and during the early years of the Temurid Dynasty, enjoyed its considerable patronage. SHAKHRISABZ Temur regarded Shakhrisabz as his “home town”and planned it eventually to be the location of his tomb.

Ak-Saray means “White Palace” in Uzbek, in the context of a name for a palace the word “white” can be interpreted as “noble”. It has a great reception hall where the walls are panelled with gold and blue tiles whereas the ceiling is entirely gold which represents the Emir status. Some of the gold leaf still clings to the glaze, a testament of the Azerbaijani craftsmen. Horizontal Arabic inscriptions near the bottom of each side of the arch were supposed to read, ‘The Sultan is а shadow of Allah’, but on the right hand side the craftsman started too big and only managed to fit in, ‘The Sultan is а shadow’ for which he was severely punished. There was also a special room in the palace where Temur feasted and spent time with the women of the harem. Clavijo describes the room as being “spacious and luxurious” opening to a large garden with many fruit trees.

In 1376, his eldest son Jahangir whom the ruler loved dearly and intended to make his successor suddenly died at the age of 22. The citizens of Samarkand moaned the loss of the crown prince – “As fair prince, a gallant warrior who flashed by on the earth like a rose”. After the death of his beloved son,Temur himself gave way to an overwhelming grief.

Imam Muhammad Ben Khusein Sheybani nicknamed Hazrat (Saint) Imam Baghdadi lived in Iraq in the 13th to beginning of the 14th century and after death he was buried in the city of Ray. In 1384, Amir Temur seized the city without meeting any resistance on the part of its residents and most likely he took the mortal remains of the imam to Shakhrisabz, though this fact has not been testified by historical documents so far. Nevertheless, the north-western burial vault is referred to by local people as Mausoleum of Hazrat-Imam – “The Great Imam”. Through the door in the eastern niche inside the mausoleum in this small but rather high hall there is a tombstome of the Great Imam.
