Today is day 3 of practice with my favorite band. Today we went to one of the pearls of the world fortress Ark. We started our tour of the fortress at 10:30 am. It was very wonderful.Today were Nigora and Feruza,it was very interesting to hear how it was built, who ruled and the legends about this fortress.

The Ark Citadel is an ancient symbol of state power. It seems that since the very creation of the world, this huge fortress has been standing in the center of Bukhara, which has always been a protection and support for the Bukhara rulers.

 The history of Ark is still shrouded in mystery. The age of Ark has not been established exactly, but, in any case, one and a half thousand years ago, this majestic fortress was already the seat of the ruler. It was built by the efforts of thousands of slaves who created an artificial hill by hand, without powerful equipment, under the scorching sun many centu

ries ago.

 For centuries, the Ark remained the main residence of the Emir of Bukhara, the place from where the supreme command of the country was exercised. Here, in the Ark, in addition to the rulers, great scientists, poets and philosophers lived and worked: Rudaki, Firdowsi, Avicenna, Farabi, Omar Khayyam.

Department of numismatics. It presents unique samples of ancient coins that were in circulation in different periods of the history of Bukhara.

 Zindan prison. A frightening-looking dungeon and a pit for the guilty. The prison cell could hold up to 40 prisoners.

 Stable yard. Utility room, where you can learn about the military equipment of horses and their role in the defense of the city.

 Throne Court. A skillfully carved canopy is installed in the courtyard, under which the throne of the emirs of Bukhara was placed.
