Khoja Kalon Mosque
Bukhara, Hodja Kalon St, near Hodza Gaukushan ensemble
The Khoja Kalon Mosque in Bukhara was built with funds from the Juibar sheikh Khodja Saad, who was nicknamed "the great khoja." This is a Sunni structure, considered the second largest mosque in the city after Poi-Kalyan. The architectural monument has an inner courtyard with an arched-columned gallery and a portal-domed prayer hall, and next to it is the Gaukushon minaret. The dating of the construction is disputed: architectural research dates it to 1573–1580, while guidebooks indicate 1598.
