The program is considered the instrument for implementation of the forms of the law “On Protection and Use of Objects of Cultural Heritage” with respect to historical monuments of Bukhoro. Moreover, this complex of actions is to favor further conduction of scientific-cultural research works, popularization and propagation of historical-architectural, social-cultural and tourist potential of the ancient town.

In total, 152 architectural monuments will be reconstructed by 2020. It is of a great importance not only for preservation of these unique historical buildings, but for preservation of those things kept there that are highly-valued because they tell us about special features of the way of life of the Bukhoro residents. Hence, most of those buildings are now in use. For instance, the citadel Ark runs the local history museum, the biggest museum in Bukhoro region, while the Museum of Woodcutting locates in the Abdulazizkhon Madrasah. Totally, 13 historical architectural constructions are used now as various museums.

It is noteworthy, that the program will allow to return for use some premises of several dozens of monuments of architecture, that are not in use yet, because they need strengthening of designs, major repairs and the adaptation to the modern needs.

The most complicated part in the works on preservation of historical monuments of Bukhoro is considered the restoration of the lost elements of constructions. The rich working experience of the specialists makes us to be convinced that they are to cope with their task. In particular, last year, such city gates of ancient Bukhoro as Samarqand and Shaykh Jalol have been restored from the very basements. Scales of the work impress hugely. Before the erection of these constructions, the exact location of the then gates was ascertained according to the remains of fundaments of the originals.

Then by photos and other sources drawings of the gates have been restored and the building materials prepared which were made in accordance with ancient technologies. And after that the gates have been recreated with high accuracy in relation to those original ones that not reached our days. Today they admire both citizens and visitors of the tourist pearl of Uzbekistan.

“Besides restoration, conservation and beautification of the architectural monuments, the program has another task, yet not registered,” noted the dean of the architectural-building faculty of the Bukhoro Technological Institute of Food and Light Industry Shamsitdin Mirzayev. “Students of our faculty will undergo practical trainings in the objects that are under restoration. This is a very good opportunity for them to grasp all points and special features of the Bukhoro architecture. Even the most experienced tutor is not able to discover all subtleties of these monuments.”

That is, we can train highly-qualified specialists who from this time onwards will preserve the monuments of architecture in a proper state. By the way, we have students who have already participated in restoration works. For instance, hereditary architect Zaurbek Bobomurodov actively took part in restoration of the Bukhoro city gate “Samarqand”.
