Editing Qarshi (section)

== Main sites ==

=== Odina Mosque ===

* [[Odina Mosque]] was built in the 16th century and is on the southeast side of Qarshi's Eski Bazaar. The mosque was built on the site of an older [[Mongol Empire|Mongol]] palace, which had also been used as a prison.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Ibbotson|first=Sophie|title=Uzbekistan|publisher=Bradt Guides Ltd|year=2020|isbn=9-781784-771089|location=United Kingdom|pages=191–192}}</ref> The mosque has an attractive domed exterior, and also a sardoba, a domed reservoir which stopped the water supply becoming contaminated or evaporating. It is no longer used for worship but instead houses Qarshi's Regional Museum.

=== Madrassas ===

* There are three [[Madrasa|madrassas]] in Qarshi, all on the same square. These are the [[Qilichboy Madrasa|Kalizbek]], [[Bekmurodboy Madrasa|Bakmir]], and [[Abdulazizkhoja Madrasa|Khodjaev Abdul Aziz Madrasas]], which were all built between 1904 and 1915.<ref name=":0" /> The madrassas no longer have a religious function and are in need of reservation, but tourists can enter inside if they ask the guardian.
* Rabiya Madrassah – a late 19th-century female madrassah

=== Kok Gumbaz Mosque ===

* [[Kuk Gumbaz Mosque (Qarshi)|Kok Gumbaz]] (which means "blue dome") is Qarshi's [[Jama masjid|Friday Mosque]]. It is the largest such mosque in the region, and was constructed by [[Ulugh Beg|Emperor Ulugbek]] on behalf of his father, [[Shah Rukh]], in the late 16th century.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Kok Gumbaz, Shakhrisabz|url=https://www.advantour.com/uzbekistan/shakhrisabz/kok_gumbaz.htm|access-date=2020-11-01|website=www.advantour.com}}</ref> Kok Gumbaz is architecturally quite similar to other [[Timurid Empire|Timurid]] mosques, including in [[Shahrisabz|Shakhrisabz]], but it has been less heavily restored, so more of the original features remain intact.

=== Qarshi Bridge ===
* [[Qarshi Bridge]] is an ancient brick bridge built over the [[Qashqadaryo (river)|Qashqadaryo River]], constructed in the second half of the 16th century.

=== World War II Memorial ===

* Qarshi's war memorial to casualties of the [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Great Patriotic War]] is one of the largest [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] era memorials in Central Asia. It is a mix of walkways, plaques, an [[eternal flame]], and a red star-topped tower with a series of stained-glass windows. It is possible to access the upper levels of the memorial on request.<ref name=":0" />
