Registan

Registan Square is a visiting card of Samarkand. In the 15th-17th centuries it was the educational and spiritual center of the city. A huge square in the center of the old part of Samarkand, on which three majestic medieval universities (madrassas) stand – the Ulugbek Madrassah (on the left), the Tillya-Kari Madrassah (central) and the Sher-Dor Madrassah (on the right). Translated from Uzbek, “reg” means sand, “stan” means place. Registan in Samarkand is a unique example of the art of urban planning, as well as a remarkable example of the architectural design of the main square of the city. The madrassas were built at different times. You will imagine the times when these buildings served as religious schools and scientific centers, “read” the plots of the facades and simply enjoy the beauty of the complex.
