An old world style plaza that dates back to the 1620's, Lyab-i Hauz means "Around the pool" in Tajik, and the plaza was constructed around one of the pools that once provided Bukhara with much of its water. It is a quiet, peaceful place, though it is gradually being encroached upon by merchants wanting to cater to the tourists that visit.
From here, you can visit three of the city's famous structures: the Kukeldash madrassah, the Nadir Devanbegi Madrassah, and the Nadir Devanbegi Khanaka.All three famed structures were built around the time of the Lyab-i Hauz.
