Uzbekistan
Panoramic view of the Registan Square, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 16, 2010 at twilight. Floodlighting picks out the elaborately tiled arches and the jewel like blue dome of the fabulous buildings in the complex. Samarkand, a city on the Silk Road, founded as Afrosiab in the 7th century BC, is a meeting point for the world's cultures. Its most important development was in the Timurid period, 14th to 15th centuries
