Three medieval trading domes punctuate the bazaar district between the Po-i-Kalyan complex and the Lab-i-Hauz pool: Toqi Telpak Furushon, Toqi Sarrofon, and the nearby Tim Abdullah Khan. All three were built in the late 16th century under Abdullah Khan II of the Shaybanid dynasty and are among the best-preserved examples of Central Asian commercial architecture. They function as markets today, selling carpets, ceramics, silk, and souvenirs, exactly as they have for four centuries.
The domes themselves are a practical marvel: the central chamber where multiple streets intersect is topped with a large ribbed dome that fills the crossing with natural light from lantern windows. Side chambers hold smaller stalls. Toqi Sarrofon is particularly well-preserved, with detailed brickwork on the exterior. The bazaars between the domes are worth exploring even if you don't buy anything — the concentration of craft workshops here is genuine, and you can watch artisans at work producing hand-painted miniatures, carved stamps, and embroidered fabric.
