Registan Square

At the heart of Samarkand, Registan Square stands as one of the most iconic landmarks in Uzbekistan. This historic site is renowned for its three main madrassas, which are among the oldest and best-preserved in the world. The square’s architectural splendor is evident in the intricate majolica and mosaic decorations that adorn the facades of these ancient Islamic schools. Visitors can also explore a beautifully painted mosque and several old dormitories, now repurposed into shops, adding a modern touch to the historic atmosphere.
