UZ-08 Deggaron Mosque
The Deggaron mosque architectural complex is an example of an extramural station-mosque located in the frontier zone between the Bukhara oasis and the Steppe. It has been functioning in the Samarkand-Bukhara section of the Silk Roads since the 11thcentury. Its preserved architectural layout and interior design contains pre-Islamic elements inspired by Zoroastrian or Nestorian temples, which reflects the cultural exchanges and interfaith dialogue along the Zarafshan-Karakum corridor of the Silk Roads. Constructed as a commemorative to a WaliOrifDeggaroni, a protector of Medieval potters, the Deggaron Mosque has preserved its religious value throughout the history and functions as a pilgrimage destination for the Muslim community.
