Church of St. George in Samarkand 1901, Orthodox church in Samarkand, Uzbekistan
The Church of St. George exhibits traditional Russian Orthodox architectural elements with pointed arches and detailed stone carvings throughout its exterior facade.
Construction of the Church of St. George began in 1882 during a period of Russian influence in Central Asia, with completion achieved in 1901.
