The Registan Square in the city is the pinnacle of Islamic architectural art, and the three magnificent scripture colleges are famous for their splendid mosaic tiles and magnificent domes; the Bibi Hanum Mosque, the Mausoleum of Gul Emir (Timur's Mausoleum) and other monuments are witnesses to the former glory.
