Registan Square, Bukhara
Registan Square in Bukhara was built before the time of the Arab conquest. In ancient times it contained administrative buildings and palaces. Capital punishments also took place in Registan Bukhara. In more modern times it was used as a central marketplace. Here one could buy fabric, cattle, produce, carpets, and many other products. It was a colorful, teeming, noisy bazaar.
