The Registan is one of the most magnificent squares in Central Asia. It is the heart of ancient Samarkand. The ensemble of three madrasas is considered a unique example of the art of urban planning and architectural design of the city's main square. The three madrasas are the Ulug'bek Madrasa (1417-1420) on the west side, the Sher-Dor Madrasa (1619-1636) opposite it on the east side, built according to the Kosh principle, and the Tilla-Kori Madrasa (1646-1660) on the north side of the square (Wikipedia).

Some say: this is the most beautiful place in the world. I belong to it. We have been there several times and are always enchanted. It feels like a fairy tale from 1001 Nights. The special thing is that you can visit all the sacred buildings without being treated like an alien. The people of Uzbekistan are pleased with the Christian visitors and willingly show everything worth seeing full of joy and pride. The locals like to visit the Medresen without exaggerated religiosity. For me a "must see".
