ark uzbekistan
The oldest building in Bukhara is the Ark, a royal town inside a town that served as the residence of the city’s rulers for more than a thousand years. The Ark is as old as the city of Bukhara. Although the initial fortress’s founding is unclear from antiquity, it was undoubtedly the main focus of the medieval town’s development. The Arc was initially constructed between the fifth and sixth century AD, according to archaeologists. A palace, a Zoroastrian fire temple, administrative spaces, and guardrooms were all part of the original building, which occupied a roughly rectangular plot of land measuring about three hectares. The town’s primary operations were all conducted inside the city walls, which made them easier to protect in the event of an invasion.
