Bukhara: Sitorai-Mohi-Hosa, the summer palace of the last Emir Alim Khan (1910-1920)

For some reason, tourists are less interested in the suburban palace of the Bukhara emirs with poetic name Sitorai Mohi-Hosa (a palace Between the Stars and the Moon). Although the palace was built comparatively recently (less than a hundred years ago), and its architecture was influenced by European traditions, it is there that one can see an interior typical of Bukhara palaces and get an idea of everyday life of the Emir`s court.
