Registan Square: The Jewel of Samarkand 🌍
Step into the heart of ancient Silk Road splendor at Registan Square, a breathtaking masterpiece nestled in Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Once the beating heart of the Timurid Empire, this architectural wonder is a timeless symbol of Islamic art and Central Asian history.
🏛️ Three Grand Madrasahs:
Ulugh Beg Madrasah (1417–1420) – Named after the astronomer-king, it was one of the most advanced Islamic schools of its time.
Sher-Dor Madrasah (1619–1636) – Known for its vivid mosaic lions—rare in Islamic art.
Tilya-Kori Madrasah (1646–1660) – "Gilded" inside and out, featuring a stunning gold-leaf mosque interior.
🌌 By day, the intricate tilework glows under the desert sun; by night, Registan becomes a canvas for dazzling light shows that revive centuries of culture and science.
