Built in 1712, on the opposite side of the citadel of Ark in Registan district, Bolo Haouz Mosque is inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list along with the other parts of the historic city. It served as a Friday mosque during the time when the [[Bukhara Khanate|emir of Bukhara]] was being subjugated under the [[Bolshevik Russia]]n rule in the 1920s.

*'''[[Chor Minor|Char Minar]]'''
[[File:Chor_Minor.jpg|thumb|[[Chor Minor|Char Minar]]]]
Char Minor (alternatively spelled '''Chor Minor''', and also alternatively known as the '''Madrasah of Khalif Niyaz-kul''') is a building tucked away in a lane northeast of the Lyabi Hauz complex. The structure was built by Khalif Niyaz-kul, a wealthy Bukharan of Turkmen origin in the 19th century under the rule of the [[Khanate of Bukhara#Janids|Janid dynasty]].<ref name="ReferenceA">О.А.Сухарева КВАРТАЛЬНАЯ ОБЩИНА ПОЗДНЕФЕОДАЛЬНОГО ГОРОДА БУХАРЫ (в

The main edifice is a mosque. In spite of its unusual outward shape, the building has a typical interior for a Central Asian mosque. Owing to the buildings cupola, the room has good acoustic properties and therefore takes on special significance of 'dhikr-hana'—a place for ritualized 'dhikr' ceremonies of [[Sufism|Sufi]], the liturgy of which often include recitation, singing, and instrumental music.

On either side of the central edifice are located dwelling rooms, some of which have collapsed, leaving only their foundations visible. Consequently, for full functioning of [[madrasah]] only of classroom and some utility rooms is lacking. However, it was common practice that so-called madrasahs had no lecture rooms or, even if they had, no lectures had been given in them. These madrasahs were employed as student hospices.<ref name="ReferenceA"/>

Each of the four towers has different decorational motifs. Some say that elements of decoration reflect the four religions known to Central Asians. One can find elements reminiscent of a cross, a [[Christianity|Christian]] fish motif, and a Buddhist praying-wheel, in addition to Zoroastrian and Islamic motifs.<ref name="pagetour4">{{cite web| url=http://www.pagetour.org/bukhara/bu/Char_Minar.htm| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240519115438/https://pagetour.org/bukhara/bu/Char_Minar.htm| url-status=dead| archive-date=May 19, 2024| title=Char Minar Madrasah| author=Dmitriy Page| access-date=October 14, 2014}}</ref> 
In 1995, due to an underground brook, one of the four towers collapsed<ref>[https://whc.unesco.org/en/soc/2149 UNESCO World Heritage Centre - State of Conservation (SOC 1997) Historic Centre of Bukhara (Uzbekistan)]</ref> and emergency assistance was applied for and granted by [[UNESCO]] under the [[World Heritage Site|World Heritage Fund]]. Although the collapse resulted in destabilizing the entire structure, the authorities were anxious to keep awareness of the disaster to a minimum. Without explanation the building disappeared from the list of sights and after hurried reconstruction of the tower "using non-traditional building material, such as poor quality cement and steel"<ref>[https://whc.unesco.org/en/soc/2149UNESCO World Heritage Centre - State of Conservation (SOC 1997) Historic Centre of Bukhara (Uzbekistan)]</ref> Char Minar returned as one of the most popular sights of the city, yet the event has been kept secret ever since.

On the esplanade to the right from Char-Minar is a pool, likely of the same age as the rest of the building complex. Char Minar is now surrounded mainly by small houses and shops along its perimeter.

*'''[[Magok-i-Attari Mosque]]'''
[[File:Magoki-Attari.JPG|thumb|The Magoki-Attari mosque (south façade)]]
The former Magoki Attori mosque was constructed in the 9th century on the remains of what may have been an older Zoroastrian temple. The mosque was destroyed and rebuilt more than once, and the oldest part now remaining is the south façade, which dates from the 12th century—making it one of the oldest surviving structures in Bukhara, and one of few which survived the onslaught of Genghis Khan. Lower than the surrounding ground level, the mosque was excavated in 1935. It no longer functions as a mosque, but, rather, houses a carpet museum.

*'''Mosque of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani'''
In Bukhara there is a mosque which is said to be that of [[Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani]], the patron saint of Kashmiri Muslims in the [[Kashmir Valley|Valley of Kashmir]].<ref>Jaffer Badakshi in Khasatul Munakib reference by Jeelani Allaie</ref>
