The Ark of Bukhara

The Ark Fortress, also known as the Ark of Bukhara, is a significant citadel located in the ancient city of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Its history spans over a thousand years, and it has played a crucial role in the governance and defense of the region.

During its long history, the fortress has witnessed the ebb and flow of various empires, including the Sassanid Empire, the Arab Caliphate, the Mongol Empire under Genghis Khan, and the Timurid Empire. It has been the backdrop for battles, sieges, and the struggle for control among different rulers and conquerors.

As a central stronghold in the region, the Ark Fortress has endured through significant historical events, serving as a silent observer of the region's ever-changing dynamics.
