Samarkand – Crossroads of Cultures
|

 |
 |
 |
|
| Samarkand is the third-largest city in Uzbekistan and the capital of Samarqand Province. The city is most noted for its central position on the Asian Silk Road between China and the west. Despite its status as the second city of Uzbekistan, the majority of the city's inhabitants (90%) are Tajik-speaking. In 2001, after several abortive attempts, UNESCO inscribed the 2700-year-old city on the World Heritage List as Samarkand - Crossroads of Cultures. |
