Samarkand: Uzbekistan's millennial pearl of the Silk Road
Samarkand is the second largest city in Uzbekistan and the most legendary Central Asian hub on the ancient Silk Road, known as the "Pearl of Central Asia". The 2,500-year-old city, once the capital of the Timurid Empire, is a fusion of Persian, Arab and Turkic civilizations. The Registan Square in the city is the pinnacle of Islamic architectural art, and the three magnificent scripture colleges are famous for their splendid mosaic tiles and magnificent domes; the Bibi Hanum Mosque, the Mausoleum of Gul Emir (Timur's Mausoleum) and other monuments are witnesses to the former glory. As a crossroads of multiculturalism, Samarkand still retains a strong oriental flavor, and was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991, attracting tourists from all over the globe to trace the ancient memories of the Silk Road.
