  • General view of Chor Minor, 1807, Bukhara, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 11, 2010 in the morning.

The 17 metre high towers, capped with blue domes, are not true minarets as they have no galleries from which to call people to prayer. Bukhara, a city on the Silk Route is about 2500 years old. Its long history is displayed both through the impressive monuments and the overall town planning and architecture. Picture by Manuel Cohen.
