Brief Description

"Bukhara, which is situated on the Silk Route, is more than 2,000 years old. It is the most complete example of a medieval city in Central Asia, with an urban fabric that has remained largely intact. Monuments of particular interest include the famous tomb of Ismail Samani, a masterpiece of 10th-century Muslim architecture, and a large number of 17th-century madrasas."

"丝绸之路上的布哈拉已有两千多年的历史。在中亚城市之中,它完好地保存了绝大多数建筑物,是中世纪城市的典范。其中著名的纪念物有伊斯梅尔·萨马尼的著名墓碑,公元10世纪穆斯林的建筑杰作以及17世纪的一批建筑。"
