The cultural traditions of urban planning in Samarkand during the epoch of Timur

Original language description

The paper is devoted to the analysis of various cultural traditions that have been reflected in the urban planing of Samarkand during the era of Timur (1336-1405 CE). The analysis of the city plan and religious and memorial structures, using archaeology, epigraphy, and comparative researchwith other regions of Central Asia, led to the conclusion that the Timur-era urban planning cultureinitially had local roots, which were later enriched with some of the cultural traditions of those coun-tries (Iran, the Golden Horde, Khwarezm) that were invaded by Timur. In my view, the creation ofnew urban structures and buildings of the Timur era in Samarkand can be divided chronologicallyinto two groups. The first group was built in the first fifteen years of Timur’s reign from 1370 to 1385CE. In these monuments, the traditions of local architecture were strong, and were enriched withelements of the Kashka Darya, Bukhara, and Khwarezmian masters. The second group of Samarkandmonuments was built from 1386 to the end of the reign of Timur. It includes the main masterpieces ofSamarkand architecture, which were built with the participation of masters from different countries:the regions of Iran, the Golden Horde, Khwarezm, Northern India, etc.
