Chashma-Ayub Mausoleum

The name means "Job's spring". According to the story, Job struck the ground with his staff during a drought and water appeared. The building grew in stages from the 12th century onwards and was reworked under Timur in the late 14th century; its tall conical dome over the spring room is closer to buildings in Khorezm than to anything else in Bukhara.

Inside, the rooms hold an exhibition on the city's water supply: the canals, the pools and the problems they caused, up to the arrival of piped water. The spring itself is still there. The mausoleum is next to the Samanid park, so it fits easily into the same walk.
