Built between 1399 and 1404, this was one of the Islamic world's biggest mosques which crumbled for centuries before collapsing in an 1897 earthquake.

Breath taking. Recognize that, like all the other historic buildings in Samarkand, the mosque has been rebuilt from near-rubble, with little of the original structure remaining. However, I my opinion, it’s a lot better this way.

The exterior was a symphony of architecture. Beautifully balanced, intricately decorated. But when I walked into the domed area and looked up, it took my breath away. The gilt interior, the combinations and permutations of design elements... amazing. Out of this world! Even away from the dome, gold trimming is used liberally in its joyously floral patterns. Tilya Kori is the middle building in the Registan ensemble. It is also the newest -- though "new" is entirely relative, having been built in the 1600s, representing one last artistic burst before the long decline of Samarkand. Entry is with the same ticket to the entire Registan ensemble: 40,000 som.

In the present Registan square in the XV century on the behest of Mirzo Ulugbek bin Shahrukh there were built several buildings: khamam, mosques, caravanserai, khanaka and majestic and incomparable building of Palace of Sciences - madrasah. Unlike his famous grandfather - "the ruler of the seven constellations of Tamerlane Shahrukh", Mirzo Ulugbek did not seek to build the highest building...

The entire Registan Square complex is THE highlight of the Silk Road, and this madrasah was my personal favorite of the three. It has a wonderful art gallery inside along with a number of shops that offer local crafts.

It is an imposing structure in old town Bukhara. It is beautiful but only to enjoy the sight from outside. Entry is not permitted. We also visited the centre to see the Minaret in the night with the streets empty. Beautifully lit is was an amazing sight.

It’s a large complex. Has souvenir stores in the courtyard. The mosque is grand with a lovely dome and calligraphy. There is also a live mosque in the complex and a museum with the oldest Quran.
