Registan square in Samarkand - Samarkand

Samarkand BLUE

The place where I had appeared in the textbook of my junior high school days English. And it is the place which thought would see by this eye when it is. REGISTAN SQUARE.

Shakhi-Zinda in Samarkand

Shahi-Zinda Mousleum 21 May.2003

It is a cemetery on the hill of Afrosiab.

Cemetery of people connected with Timour is located in a line in a straight line, and a pilgrim does not still die out.

The building is covered with the tile of beautiful cobalt blue. Peculiar relief is given, and green, dark blue, etc. are used other than cobalt blue, and the tile of Samarkand is impressive particularly.

If it visits 3 times here, it will be said once that it says to a Mecca.

Samarkand where blue matches well too

Bibikhanum Mosque in Samarkand 21 May.2003

The world's largest Islamic mosque built by the Timur era. The queen is said to have built in response to Timur's triumphal return.
