Discovering Uzbekistan's Ancient Fortress
[20.05.2024]

The Ark of Bukhara is a famous old fortress in the city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. This huge, ancient building has a lot of history and has seen many important events. Let me share my experience and what I learned when I visited this incredible place with my university friends.


The Ark of Bukhara was built in the 5th century AD. It served as a royal palace where the rulers of Bukhara lived. It also acted as a military fortress, protecting the city from enemies. The high walls and strong gates made it a safe place for the emirs (rulers) of Bukhara.


The Ark is known for its impressive architecture. It has tall walls that stretch over a long distance. The main entrance, called the Bukhara Gate, is beautifully decorated with tiles and patterns. Inside the fortress, there are many rooms, courtyards, and buildings, including the Emir’s Mosque and the Throne Room.


When I visited the Ark with my university friends, we were amazed by the grand entrance and the detailed tile work. We spent hours exploring the different parts of the fortress, imagining what life must have been like for the people who lived there.Mohichehra Temirovna, our teacher, also guided us.
