A fairly modern city with little historical appeal, due to its destruction by the earthquake, but ideal to start the excursion through Uzbekistan, since this is the central axis of the road to Samarkand, famous for the discord between Alexander the Great and his friend Cleitos , the point of greatest wealth thanks to the silk route and a city converted as one of the largest capitals in the world in the 14th century by Timur.
Here you will visit the center of the city ruled by three huge madrasas, which today serve as Islamic seminaries, built between the 15th and 17th centuries, then the beautiful Bibi Khanym mosque, the living testimony of the love of the great emperor Timur (who conquered much of Central and South Asia) by his wife.
