Bukhara, Historical trading city in Uzbekistan
The city contains 140 architectural monuments spread across its territory, featuring minarets, mosques, and madrasas built with traditional Central Asian techniques.
Founded in the 6th century BC, Bukhara developed as a major Silk Road trading center and became the capital of the Samanid Empire around 850.
The Kalyan Minaret, constructed in 1127, stands 45.6 meters tall with internal spiral stairs and represents medieval engineering expertise in Central Asia.
The international airport and extensive railway network make Bukhara the second largest transportation center in Uzbekistan, connecting it to major regional destinations.
The Magok-i-Attari Mosque, built upon former religious structures from the 9th century, now functions as a carpet museum displaying regional textile traditions.
