Residents of the capital, Kabul say that the Bukhara King's Garden is in poor condition and that the caretaker government should pay serious attention to its reconstruction.
This garden, built on 24 acres of land in the Kabul Fatuh Fortress with the architectural style of the time of King Amanullah Khan, now only remains as broken walls and doors.
The Bukhara Garden was once known as a governmental and residential place for the Bukhara King.
Abdul Khaliq, a local resident, told TOLOnews: "The garden's land was fertile, spanning 24 acres of land from one side of the garden to the other."
According to some accounts, the Emir of Bukhara (Mohammad Alam Khan) fled from the Russian Bolsheviks and came to Kabul at the invitation of King Amanullah Khan, where he spent twenty-three years of his life.
The Bukhara Garden, with more than a hundred years of historical significance, had a mosque, a harem, and the Bukhara King's palace, of which now only ruins can be seen from the king's palace.
Taj Mohammad Wali, a resident of Kabul, said: "Our expectation is that this garden should be reconstructed because it is the only garden located near and thirteen kilometers from Kabul."
Mohammad Azam, another resident of Kabul, said: "If the Islamic Emirate cooperates to reconstruct the garden and also make it a recreational place for the people."
The Department of Historical Artifact Preservation of the Ministry of Information and Culture assures efforts to preserve historical sites in the country but says that reconstructing this garden requires large amount of money.
Abdul Ahadzai, the Director of Survey and Engineering at the Department of Historical Artifacts of the Ministry of Information and Culture, said: "At the invitation of Emir Amanullah Khan, he came to Kabul. When he arrived in Kabul, the Murad Bek Fortress was temporarily relocated, and after that, the Afghan government gave him this place in the Fatuh Fortress."
After spending twenty-three years in Kabul, the Bukhara King passed away at the age of 63 and was buried in the Martyrs of the Righteous.
