Best temples in Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan’s great mosques and madrasas are the monuments of the Silk Road cities, built in glazed brick and turquoise tile under Timur and his successors. The catalogue’s three are all landmarks: the Registan in Samarkand, three madrasas facing one square, with the gilded Tilla-Kari mosque; Bibi-Khanym nearby, Timur’s colossal congregational mosque begun in 1399; and Po-i-Kalan in Bukhara, where the twelfth-century Kalan Minaret rises between the mosque and the Mir-i-Arab Madrasah.
