Registan is translated as “A Sandy Place” from Persian. So, where is this sandy place located and why did we open such subject after all?
To make it easy to understand, I would like to compare Registan to The Time Square of New York city. Yes, this is the main square, the greatest symbol of Samarkand city.
This downtown Samarkand is very unique with three majestic buildings standing side by side. The madrasahs of Ulugbek, Sherdor and Tilla Kori are the architectural masterpieces, built by the great rulers, starting from Tamerlane to his grandson Mirzo Ulugbek.
