World Heritage
The Historic Centre of Shakhrisyabz, located on the Silk Roads in southern Uzbekistan, is over 2000 years old and was the cultural and political centre of the Kesh region in the 14th and 15th century. The site includes exceptional monuments and ancient quarters which bear witness to the city's secular development, and particularly to the period of its apogee, under the rule of Amir Temur and the Temurids, in the 15th-16th century. http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/885 http://www.worldheritagesite.org/sites/site.php?id=885 http://www.tashkent.org/uzland/shakhrisabz.html http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/885/documents

[|Journeys to Bukhara] - The silk road region of Central Asia has a history that stretches back for millenia. This part of the Moslem world had played a vital part in Islam's Golden Age, that period that saw a great flowering in science, mathematics, medicine, and the arts. The city of Bukhara, in modern day Uzbekistan, had been a major centre of learning, culture, and spiritual endeavour.
