Our first trip to Sitorai Mokhi-Khosa with                     groupmates 
Today was an unforgettable day. Because we have the first day of practice and the first tour with classmates in Mokhi Khosa. Despite the windy weather, the day started well. Time 9.13. I arrived a little later than the others. When everyone gathered the teacher started our tour. And so we entered the palace, paid for the entrance and after that our guides began to talk about the history of the palace.

 Our guides were Mukhayo and Sabrina. Mukhayo spoke about the history and buildings of this Emir's summer palace. 

From her story, we learned that the palace was initiated by the third to last Emir of Bukhara, Nasrullah Khan in the 19th century. Nasrullah Khan was a mad and cruel Khan, but he loved his wife sincerly. The palace was designed for the wife of the emir named Sitorabony. Nasrullah Khan sent a delegation of Bukharian architects to St. Peterburg and Yalta, to get familiarized with new forms of architecture to implement it here. However, his wife  died in childbirth nut he still named the palace after her. He compared the beauty of his wife to the moon, therefore it became Sitorai Mokhi Khossa Saroy, the place of a star like a moon.  

And Sabrina told the legend about this palace. According to a legend, the Emir requested the aksakals to recommend a location for his summer residence. They told him to kill a lamb and separate it into four parts and to hang the pieces at the four corners outside the city. The piece that had been hung in the north was still fresh after some days and therefore the site was chosen as being the coolest area not too far from the city.

And so the day went well. We learned a lot about this wonderful place. And in the future we plan to visit this place again.
