Samarkand: towards the outskirts

Site of Afrasiyab

The site of Afrasiyab, the oldest part and the ruined site of the ancient and medieval city of Samarkand, located on high ground for defensive reasons, south of a river valley and north of a large fertile area which has now became part of the city of Samarkand. The habitation of the territories of Afrasiyab began in the 7th-6th century BCE, as the centre of the Sogdian culture. It is now along the path from the Hazrat Khizr mosque to the Shah-i-Zinda complex.
