Uzbekistan isn't just a Muslim country with Muslim archeological sites. There are pockets of Christian remnants and in and around the southern city of Termez, a bit of a Buddhist past. The ruin of Fayaz Tepe is a nice oasis.

Next to the stupa temple is a monastery complex. A complicated, multi-room layout and a little column decoration.
Stupa, alt angle. Closer in.
The central courtyard of the monastery and looking back toward the temple.
