Tours to Uzbekistan: Samarkand

There are not so many cities in the world that can boast of their history in several millennia, where every building, architectural monument and other buildings take you to different epochs - Samarkand can rightly be considered one of the oldest cities of our planet.

Samarkand, like many other historical cities, which were considered the first centers of human settlement, saw many difficulties, ups and downs. If you rely on archaeological excavations, then the settlement of the territory of Samarkand took place even a few millennia BC, which once again confirms the special status of the city not only in Uzbekistan, but throughout the world.

The city has all the conditions for living, and that is what caused people to explore this territory. On the one hand, Samarkand has a favorable climate and natural sources of water, on the other hand, the city has a favorable geographical location, and a clear proof of this is that many ancient trade routes passed through Samarkand, including the famous Silk Road.

Even before the beginning of our era, the palaces of the rulers were already located here, and the city was surrounded by powerful walls. One of the first mentions of the city was the evidence of the conquests of A. of Macedon, which occurred in the three hundred years BC. It is worth noting that in ancient times Samarkand bore the name - Marakanda. It was noted that already at that time there was a lively trade in the city, handicraft was developed, and cultural centers were also present.

As a result of recent archaeological finds, it was established that Samarkand arose much earlier than Macedonian began its conquests and was already a developed city at that time. Based on this, it can be concluded that the age of the city is more than 2500 years, although many consider the city to be much older, for this reason Samarkand tours are very popular among tourists.

The real construction boom in the city was observed in the 14-15 centuries - it is this time that is considered the golden age. Samarkand was surrounded by powerful walls, magnificent park areas were broken, and the streets were made of stone. From different sides of the city, the domes of majestic architectural ensembles, some of which are the main symbols of Samarkand to this day, towered upwards. In their importance they can be compared with the historical sights of other countries of the world. Every year, thousands and thousands of tourists from different parts of the world book tours of Uzbekistan to see first-hand these beautiful monuments of architecture, concealing a thousand-year history of the region.
