A Masterpiece of Architectural Art: A Journey to the Seyitjemaletdin Monument
On the occasion of the year 2026 being declared “Independent neutral Turkmenistan – the homeland of purposeful winged horses” and the planned international events dedicated to the 35th anniversary of Turkmenistan's sacred Independence, a field lesson titled “A Masterpiece of Architectural Art: A Journey to the Seyitjemaletdin Monument” was held. The event was organized by the Volunteers Center of the Turkmen State Architecture and Construction Institute together with the departments of “Architecture” and “Social Sciences” to prepare volunteer students at a high level, to learn the historical monuments located in our country, and to promote their significance. The event was also recorded by the Miras and TV-4 television channels.
The field lesson held with volunteer students within the grounds of the sacred Seyitjemaletdin monument, which embodies valuable pages of history and culture, was very impressive. Providing education to the younger generation not only through books but also through practical lessons in historical places plays a special role in expanding their worldview. The speaking teachers gave detailed information about the Seyitjemaletdin Mosque being built in the 15th century and it being a wonderful example of architectural art. The legend told among the people about the Seyitjemaletdin Mosque left a great impression on the volunteer students.
Additionally, our volunteer students had a great opportunity to study the unique architectural structure of the Seyitjemaletdin Mosque, its ceramic decorations, and historical finds on-site. The main goal of this field lesson is to increase the pride of volunteer students in our historical heritage and to improve their volunteer work. Today, we are not only studying history here; we are also working practically on how our volunteer students can tell our history interestingly to foreign guests and how to introduce historical places in English and other languages. Our volunteer students are a major force in introducing the historical and cultural riches of our country to the world in future international events. Young people who know their past, that is, their history, are young people who build a strong future. The teachers who spoke at this event emphasized that they work so that our volunteer students become not only theoretically educated specialists but also individuals who respect the past of their people.
This field lesson was a moment that will stay in the memories of our volunteer students forever and give impetus to new scientific research. The fact that several volunteer students spoke about the Seyitjemaletdin monument with their own understanding in English and Russian on the TV-4 channel and on our institute's TikTok page proved that they are further improving their language skills.
The teachers and volunteer students of the Turkmen State Architecture and Construction Institute, who traveled to the Seyitjemaletdin monument—a masterpiece of construction art—expressed their great gratitude to the National Leader of the Turkmen people, our Hero Arkadag, and our Esteemed President Arkadagly Hero Serdar for the opportunities created to protect and introduce our national heritage to the world.
