Old Qarshi

Qarshi is a town of about 200,000 people, a bit southwest of Samarkand, close to the Turkmenistan border. It's out there. The place looks mostly modern with no significant Silk Road era sites. What "old" buildings that exist are 16th, 19th century re-creations of an older era. Old looking, not ancient in date.

Facade of the cute Qilichbay Madrasah.

View to the inside courtyard, one, lonely tree. Front entrance of the Bekmir Madrasah.

Big, classic dome. The back of the Odina Mosque.

Smaller, more plain dome and a cool interior. The Sardoba.

Back to the big Odina Mosque, the view heading into the main courtyard.
