Masjid-i Jami or Kalyan Masjid

This immense four-iwan mosque occupies the site of an earlier congregational mosque commissioned by Qarakhanid ruler Arslan Khan, of which only the minaret remains. The structure evident today was initiated under the Timurids during the fifteenth century and completed under Ubaydallah Khan, the Shaybanid appanage in Bukhara.
Hazarbaf brickwork predominates, with hexagonal haft-rangi floral tiles in the spandrels.
