Xoja Kalon masjidi (Gavkushon majmuasi)

Within the Khoja Gaukushan architectural grouping in the center of old Bukhara stands the Khoja Kalon mosque, built in 1598 just north of the ensemble's madrasah. The complex as a whole dates to around 1570, commissioned under Khan Abdullah II on a site that had previously served as a livestock market and slaughterhouse, which is reflected in the name Gaukushan. The mosque, madrasah, and an accompanying minaret were funded by the influential Juybari sheikh Khoja Sa'd, known by the honorific Khoja Kalon, meaning "the great Khoja," whose name was attached to the buildings he sponsored. The minaret built alongside the mosque matches the Kalyan Minaret in width though not in height, making it a recognizable, if lesser-known, landmark of the old city. The ensemble is counted among the protected historic monuments of central Bukhara's UNESCO-listed old town.
