EU: Moskee op de marktplaats te Samarkand (1900)
1900 Samarkand, Uzbekistan
A mosque overlooks a marketplace in Samarkand in this 1900 image. Markets and monumental religious buildings stood side by side in the old city, a center of trade and learning since the era of Timur, whose fourteenth-century empire made Samarkand one of Central Asia's great cities.
