Bukhara
General view of the side of the Nadir Divan-Begi Khanaka, 1620, Bukhara, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 12, 2010 in the morning. Nadir Divan-Begi, a Finance Minister or Grand Visier, commissioned not only the Khanaka, a local mosque surrounded by cells for wandering Holy Men, but also its companion Madrassah and the nearby Hauz or reservoir. 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
