Bukhara: towards the outskirts

White Hall, Emir's Summer palace

Akhadkhan, grandson of Nasrullah Khan, whose palace didn't survive, built another palace on the grounds in the mid-19th century and maintained the name Sitora-i Mokhi-Khossa. From the outside all the buildings are in Russian style but the inside of each room is decorated in stunning, traditional Bukharan ornamentation and design. The rooms are each uniquely decorated, like the White Hall (reception room): the walls are decorated with ganch (plaster) work over mirrors executed by the famous Bukharan master Shirin Muradov and his students.
