    Macron's and Mirziyoyev's journey through Samarkand's historical sites

    Macron's and Mirziyoyev's journey through Samarkand's historical sites

    French President Emmanuel Macron, accompanied by Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, concluded his official visit to Uzbekistan with a tour of the historical monuments in Samarkand. The visit encompassed several notable sites, each with its own significance and cultural value.

    Exploring the Mirzo Ulugbek Observatory and Museum

    The first stop on their itinerary was the Mirzo Ulugbek Observatory and Museum. Mirzo Ulugbek, the grandson of Amir Temur and a renowned ruler and scientist, built a remarkable observatory during the Middle Ages. The observatory allowed him to conduct precise studies on celestial bodies, and his book "New Astronomical Tables" gained recognition in Europe, including France. The presidents had the opportunity to explore the observatory, examining objects, books, manuscripts, and the original quadrant belonging to Mirzo Ulugbek.

    Discovering the Legacy of Amir Temur

    They visited the mausoleum of Amir Temur, a towering figure who established a vast empire spanning from India to Europe. Amir Temur's military campaigns and diplomatic achievements left a lasting impact on distant lands. European monarchs recognized his state and sought relations with him, with the French King Charles VI even sending a letter to Amir Temur. The presidents learned about Amir Temur's life, military prowess, and creative contributions during their visit.

    Immersed in the Architectural Splendor of the Registan Complex

    The Registan complex, consisting of the madrasas of Mirzo Ulugbek, Sherdor, and Tillakori, was also on the itinerary. These esteemed structures, built by Mirzo Ulugbek and Yalangtushbiy, have fascinated researchers for centuries and served as a magnificent learning space for countless scholars. Known for its architectural beauty and symmetry, the Registan complex is considered the iconic symbol of Samarkand. The presidents received insights into the architectural traditions, techniques, and intricate designs adorning the madrasas.

    Exploring the Cultural Heritage of Shahi-Zinda

    The heads of state visited Shahi-Zinda, a complex featuring mausoleums of notable figures, including a companion of Kusam ibn Abbas. This complex showcases the evolution of architecture and decorative art over several centuries and has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2001. The guests admired the historical significance of the complex, particularly the gates and mausoleums, appreciating the beauty of the intricate patterns.
