In the XIII century Genghis Khan entered Bukhara, but the city's residents took refuge in the fortress. Genghis Khan's army could not break through for a long time, but in the end the citadel “Ark” was defeated. As a result, resistance was broken, and the fortress was looted and destroyed.
Until 1920 it served as the residence of the Emirs of Bukhara.
