Tim Abdullah Khan
By Seeker
Tim Abdullah Khan, also known as Timi Kalon or Great Tim, is a historic domed bazaar located in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, built in 1577 by Abdullah Khan II. As the largest covered market of the Bukhara Khanate, it played a crucial role in Central Asia's silk trade and is the only surviving market of six that once existed in the city. The bazaar features a stunning Persian architectural style with a square plan, high domes, and arched niches, housing numerous shops that once sold fabrics and other goods. Today, it remains a vibrant marketplace with carpet shops and trade stalls, and it is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, making it a must-visit for tourists and researchers interested in the region's rich history and culture.
