History
Talipach gate was installed in the middle of the 16th century. During rule of Abdulla-han II, fortress walls were under construction. They protected Bukhara citizens from attacks of nomadic tribes and neighboring khanates (kingdoms).
Archeology and history scholars revealed names of 11 city gates. Five of them were in preserved area of modern city. Talipach gate bordered with Shirhiran and Imam gates.
Even after centuries, their majestic appearance silently reminds us of once mighty Bukhara Khanate.
