The Khoja-Gaukushon Ensemble

Khoja Gaukushon, one of the largest ensembles in the city center, includes a mosque, a minaret and a madrasa. Gaukushon - "killing bulls", in the past a large shopping area of Bukhara, on the site of which there was previously a slaughterhouse.

In the 16th century, a large madrasa and a cathedral mosque with a huge minaret were built on the square, which was second in size only to the Kalyan minaret. The buildings on Gaukushon Square were made at the expense of Sheikh Khoja Saad of Juybara, which was reflected in the name of the mosque and the complex as a whole.
