The historic town of Samarkand, located in a large oasis in the valley of the Zerafshan River, in the north-eastern region of Uzbekistan, is considered the crossroads of world cultures with a history of over 2,500 years, linking China, India and the Persian Empire.
As one of the oldest cities standing in Central Asia, today's Samarkand is the country's second-largest city. Samarkand was inscribed as UNESCO-World Heritage Site in 2001 as living monuments to these past interactions.
People of Sugda, famous for running businesses, built this city into a prosperous commercial and capital. UNESCO described Samarkand's most significant period was in the Timurid period "from the 14th to the 15th centuries when it was capital of the powerful Timurid realm."
