Tok-i-Zargoron, Trading dome building in Bukhara, Uzbekistan.

The Tok-i-Zargoron spans 43 by 45 meters, containing a central dome supported by a tambour with windows that illuminate the main hall.

Built in 1586 under Khan Abdullah II, this trading structure served as the primary marketplace for goldsmiths and jewelers with over thirty specialized shops.

The bazaar represents the traditional Islamic architecture of Central Asia, combining commercial functions with social gathering spaces for local merchants.

Located at the intersection leading to Poi Kalon and Ulugbek Madrasa, the bazaar now sells textiles and household items alongside jewelry.

The structure distinguishes itself as the northernmost and largest of Bukhara's trading domes, featuring a ribbed central dome surrounded by smaller lanterned cupolas.
