Piazza Registan

"Io sono Registan,

Io sono il cuore di Samarcanda,

Io sono il disco di pietra dei secoli"

Registan Square in Samarkand is one of the outstanding examples of urban development art in Central Asia. 

The name of the square - “Registan” means "sandy place". A true version explaining the name of this square in Samarkand, the center of a fertile oasis, says that in the Middle Ages in all cities of Mavarannahr, the central squares were called Registan - administrative, trade and artisan centers of eastern cities. 

During the reign of Timur (1370-1405) Registan was the main trading area. And then only during the reign of Ulugbek it acquired an official character.
