Лазерное 3D шоу на площади Регистан в Самарканде ярко раскрасило минареты и стены древних медресе . Красочное, удивительно красивое, музыкальное. Оно длится всего час. Но за это время не успеваешь насытиться впечатлениями от плавно меняющейся расцветки, от ее неожиданных сочетаний и бесконечно изменяющейся картинки. Самарканд — один из древнейших городов мира. Он основан в VIII до н. э. Ровесник Рима, свидетель походов Александра Македонского, столица империи Тамерлана. Здесь мечети приобретают лазурно-голубой оттенок и плов готовят совсем по-другому. А сама площадь Регистан - это мемориальный комплекс, был построен в XV веке и сейчас включен в список Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО. Прекрасная площадь - настоящая жемчужина Самарканда. Приехать в этот город стоит даже просто из-за нее.

Brilliant Samarkand. Photographer Vera. Russia (Rostov-on-Don).

A 3D laser show on Registan Square in Samarkand brightly painted the minarets and walls of ancient madrassas. Colourful, amazingly beautiful, musical. It lasts only an hour. But during this time you don’t have time to get enough of the impressions of the smoothly changing colours, their unexpected combinations and the endlessly changing picture. Samarkand is one of the oldest cities in the world. It was founded in the 8th century BC. It is the same age as Rome, a witness to the campaigns of Alexander the Great, and the capital of Tamerlane’s empire. Here, mosques acquire an azure-blue hue and pilaf is cooked in a completely different way. And Registan Square itself is a memorial complex, built in the 15th century and now included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The beautiful square is a real pearl of Samarkand. It is worth visiting this city just for it.

The Shah-i-Zinda Ensemble in Samarkand is a stunning necropolis comprising over 20 mausoleums and ritual buildings dating from the 11th to the 19th centuries. Its name, meaning “The Living King,” refers to a legend that Qutham ibn Abbas, cousin of the Prophet Muhammad, is buried there.

The complex developed over eight centuries and is divided into three sections—lower, middle, and upper—connected by arched domed passages known as chartak. The earliest structures date to the 11th–12th centuries, though most of the preserved architecture stems from the 14th–15th centuries, particularly during the time of Timur (Tamerlane) and his successors.
