Abstract

The city of Bolgar at the end of XIII – beginning of XIV century becomes one of the largest industrial, commercial, cultural and religious centers of the Golden Horde and the whole of Europe. In the Golden Horde time, its area expanded to 380 hectares. It is rapidly built up with stone and brick buildings, including public obdjects: mosques and baths. They are considered to be among the most magnificent monuments of Tatar architecture of the Golden Horde period. The Golden Horde Bolgar was a significant and important city. Due to emergence and consistent development of urban civilization in the Volga-Ural region, formation of Turkic Civilization took place, which largely determined the image of modern

Eurasia.
