The Unrestored Husayni Madrasa In Bukhara

There are probably more unrestored monuments in Bukhara than restored sites. You just need to know where to look. And sneak in. Shhh.

Front entrance of the small, neighborhood Husayni madrasa. A wire lock on the front door is not going to get it done.

Inside, a madrasa of a different design. No rows of little dorm rooms. It's a later period, small, madrasa, dating from the 18th century. Must have been adorable.

Details. How old could the front door be? Inside, a double barrel domed room, impressive.

Back outside, one of the alcoves still has its various layers, including paint. Putting the P in patina.

Restoration is a long way off. Glad we saw it when.
