The Ark fortress.



Hello everyone. Today's blog is about one of the most ancient historic place of Bukhara, the Ark fortress. We visited there with our coursmates ,as well as our teacher was with us. We spent time enjoyable. Now  I am going to give some information which I learnt during this guided tour about the fortress.







The Ark fortress is one of the oldest architectural monument of Bukhara. It stands on a hill which 20 meters higher than the surrounding area. 
It has an extraordinary structure. According to   historic   records ,  1500  years   ago   it already   served    as   the   residence   of   local rulers   and    city's    inhabitants.









Throughout it's history , the fortress was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. Now  the Ark includes    stores   of   clothes  , carpets   , utensils , treasures  ,  jewelleries ,  workshops  , mosques   and   other   buildings .
The   Ark   fortress   of   Bukhara   was   listed    by    UNESKO    as   one  of   the  World   Heritage  sites .













Here  you  can   see  the  epic   hero   Rustam' s   whip  , Ark ' s    lock   and  pipes .They  are  really    attracted  me 馃ぉ馃ぉ馃ぉ. I   think   all   of   you  hear   about  this  epic   hero. 





Furthermore , we  saw  and  learnt  ancient  clothes of  Buhkarains . These   clothes   represent  the   dressing   style   of   our   ancestors .And  also  they  are  one  of  the  main part  of  our  history.





Here  you  can  see  several  jugs  and  plates  and   also   other   items   as  our   ancient   affluence. 






At  the  end  of   my  blog   I  can  say  that  today's   trip was  memorable   and  enjoyable !





I  will  wait  for  your  comments!馃檭馃槉馃槉馃槉
