Samarkand Uzbekistan U.S.S.R. - a photo on Flickriver

Samarkand Uzbekistan U.S.S.R.

            Anyone who gets on the Registan Square in Samarkand, loses the sense familiar to his proportions. The same feeling a person experiences when facing a mountain or a pyramid. The scale of space and buildings, the harmony of proportions and exquisite luxury finishes evoke any enthusiasm and a sincere respect for the creators of this masterpiece.

Registan - the heart of Samarkand, a huge square in the old town center, on which stand three majestic medieval university ("madrassas") - Ulugbek madrasah, Sherdor madrasah and Tilla-Kori madrasah.

The ensemble of three madrasahs is a unique example of urban art and a remarkable example of architectural design of the city's main square. In 2001, this ensemble, along with other ancient buildings of Samarkand is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.
