This may have been a consequence of the 1361 campaign of the Golden Horde Khan Bulak-Timur. Here is a cemetery of nobility, from which several tombs and hills have been preserved, hiding the ruins of stone buildings. A dig was founded on one of such hills. The investigation revealed that it concealed the remains of a small mausoleum, whose foundation was preserved. The minaret is a massive 11-12 meter high pillar. The entrance is located on the northern side.<br>The small minaret plays a special role among the monuments of Oriental architecture (Azerbaijan, the Near East) close to it, being distinguished by peculiarities coming from the local architectural school, traditions of the pre-Mongol time. These peculiarities demonstrate the style of Bulgarian architecture &#8211; simplicity and constructiveness of volume-spatial solutions, moderation, and brevity of decorative decoration. They also show signs of the so-called Seljukism.<br>Legends say that the cemetery near the Small Minaret is called &#8220;Khan&#8217;s.&#8221; Stone tombstones were preserved over individual graves for a long time. The graves stretched in rows from north to south &#8211; most of the burials were made in boxes, over which small stone vaults were laid.\u00a0 In the second half of the XIV century a minaret was built here, which in contrast to the large one at the Cathedral Mosque was called Small, placed according to legends on the burial place of the &#8220;Holy Bulgars&#8221;. The minaret is an integral component of numerous surrounding burial vaults, cemetery, and memorial mosques.<br>\u00a0<br>The reference to the source:\u00a0 https:\/\/bulgar.pnzgu.ru\/culture\/architecture<br>\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1739,"template":"","meta":[],"class_list":["post-1749","publications","type-publications","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/igelek.tatar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publications\/1749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/igelek.tatar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/publications"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/igelek.tatar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/publications"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/igelek.tatar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1739"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/igelek.tatar\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
