History

[edit]

The complex mainly consists of a symbolic mausoleum and a park. The Al-Khwarizmi complex was completed in 2000 on the initiative of the former president of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov, on Al-Khwarizmi street in the city of Urganch. Urganch International Airport is very close to Al-Khwarizmi and Al-Beruni architectural complexes located on both sides of Al-Khwarizmi street.

The Al-Khwarizmi complex was built according to the style typical of medieval building traditions. The complex consists mainly of two architectural parts. The first part is the entrance, where there is a unique gate and a symbolic mausoleum. The entrance also has a porch that runs along either side of the corridor and two rooms. The symbolic mausoleum has a typical dome and is decorated with blue tiles. Also, the facade is decorated with inscriptions and patterns, and a carved door is installed on it. Al-Khwarizmi architectural complex has a garden planted with fruit trees. At the same time, Al-Khwarizmi museum exposition was organized in the complex. The complex was reconstructed in March and April 2018.[3]
