About the place
Abdulaziz Khan, a disciple of Sheikh Jaloliddin, repaired this gate in 1549–1550, renamed it in his teacher's honour and faced it with glazed brick. Near it he built a khanqah, a pool, a minaret and cells, none of which survive, and beyond it lay large gardens.
The gate stood until 1968, when it was pulled down in Soviet times; it had been the only Bukhara gate to keep remains of its mosaic facing. It was rebuilt on the old site around 2009–2012 and is one of four gates recreated in this way.
