Lyabi-Hauz in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, situated near Kukeldash Madrasah, Khanaka Madrasah and Nadir Divan-Begi Madrasah, is a reservoir in the center of the city’s historic quarters. The pool, one of the most popular monuments of Bukhara, has become symbolic of its famous Old Town. Lyabi-Hauz Reservoir was built in 1620 by order of the powerful dignitary Nadir Divan-Begi. Presumably, an older and smaller reservoir once stood in its place. Many pools were drained or demolished in the early 20th century, yet Lyabi-Hauz, whose waters come from the ancient Shahrud Canal through an underground channel covered with a vault, managed to escape this fate. Today it is the most famous pool of its kind in Uzbekistan and one of the most beloved sights of Bukhara. Residents and tourists alike gather in the evening to lounge by its cool waters, which are shaded by mulberry trees planted in medieval times, and to enjoy traditional music, local cuisine and spontaneous dancing in a scenic family atmosphere.
