RegistanRegistan Square is a visiting card of Samarkand. In the 15th-17th centuries it was the educational and spiritual center of the city. A huge square in the center of the old part of Samarkand, on which three majestic medieval universities (madrassas) stand – the Ulugbek Madrassah (on the left), the Tillya-Kari Madrassah (central) and the Sher-Dor Madrassah (on the right). Translated from Uzbek, “reg” means sand, “stan” means place.
