Chorsu, Art gallery in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.
The Chorsu building features a distinctive hexagonal architectural design with multiple domed chambers connected through intricate passageways and corridors.
The construction dates back to the 15th century when Samarkand emerged as a central point along the Silk Road trading routes between Asia and Europe.
The gallery exhibits numerous works from Uzbek artists, representing different periods and styles of Central Asian artistic expression through paintings and sculptures.
The entrance to Chorsu sits near Registan Square, with guided tours available in multiple languages from Monday through Saturday during regular business hours.
