This historical site has fortified areas and citadel. In former times, the fortress was the Palace of the Bek of Bukhara Emir.

The territory with a garden and a swimming pool, as well as wide stairs leading to the main entrance with terraces, which were lined with bricks, unfortunately did not survive to the present day. The only thing that remains of the fortress is a monumental gate made of burnt brick with two cylindrical towers, between which there is a pointed arch, so most of the gates of Bukhara were built in the XVIII-XIX centuries. But even this fragment looks very Grand and impressive today.
