Özet:

The Ghaznavids, sitting on the remnants of the Samanids, brought important works to the Turkish-Islamic world. The Ghaznavids, who achieved prosperity in every field with the booty obtained as a result of the expeditions to India during the reign, also provided great benefits for the development of the country. One of the important cities built in this period is Herat. Herat, where the precious works of Turkish-Islamic culture and civilization were given, was one of the important cultural centers of the Ghaznavids. Known for its artistic, literary and scientific works, the city of Herat was also a point where important architectural works rose. Herat is an important city that carries the main texture of Turkish-Islamic cities with its great mosque, charitable institutions, madrasas, libraries, palaces, castles, mints and bridges, which are the products of its artistic accumulation. Ghaznavids, who gave importance to the reconstruction of the city in their period, tried to keep alive by restoring architectural works that were built and damaged before them, while building many architectural works at the same time. In this study, information is given about the architectural works built by the Ghaznavids in Herat and the contribution of the architectural works to the development of the city as a whole and the development of its culture and civilization is emphasized.
