Bukhara
Low angle view of domed gateway, Tok-i-Sarrafon or Moneychangers Bazaar, Bukhara, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 8, 2010 in the afternoon. The Tok-i-Sarrafon or Moneychangers Bazaar, is one of the remaining domed Bazaars originating in the 16th-17th century trading boom along the Silk Road. Here Punjabi moneychangers would exchange Russian, Persian and Afghan currency into local coinage. Bukhara, a city on the Silk Route is about 2500 years old. Its long history is displayed both through the impressive monuments and the overall town planning and architecture. Picture by Manuel Cohen
