Uzbekistan – The Heart of the Silk Road

Uzbekistan is a young country with a very ancient heritage. For centuries, the Silk Road passed through this region, carrying treasures from China to Europe. During the Mongol era and the reign of Timur (Tamerlane) in the 14th century, Samarkand became the capital of a vast empire and an important cultural center.
