Historic Centre of Bukhara
Bukhara, which is situated on the Silk Route, is more
than 2,000 years old. It is the most complete example of a medieval city
in Central Asia, with an urban fabric that has remained largely intact.
Monuments of particular interest include the famous tomb of Ismail
Samani, a masterpiece of 10th-century Muslim architecture, and a large
number of 17th-century madrasas.
