Around The Main Park In Shahrisabz

The center of Shahrisabz has been turned into a tourist corridor, anchored by major attractions like Timur's Summer Palace and the Kok Gumbaz mosque. Smaller, satisfying sites dot the area between the heavies.

Here's the charming Abdushukur Agalik mosque. So simple, so symmetrical, so cute!

Mosque porch details. The nice woodwork is elaborately painted. Nice palette. Suck it, Martha Stewart.

Moving on, time to pop into the small market, Chorsu. More cute!

The space has been given over to local women, master weavers. Carpets are hanging, new textiles are on the looms. Colorful.

Proud producer. She should be, lovely work.
