The Ark had an important defensive role over the years. Now a historic attraction, you can only imagine some of the spectacles its mighty walls have witnessed.
This Bukhara history-filled fortress is an interesting spot to begin your day of sightseeing. There's plenty to do and see close by, such as Lyab-i-Hauz, Kalyan Mosque, and Chor-Minor. Wander around at your leisure at The Ark before heading to these other fine sights.
