The story
Origins and historical context
Timurid Shakhrisabz was enclosed by earthen walls and gates arranged around major crossing streets. The alignment helps explain the scale and structure of the historic town.
Architecture and evidence
Only fragments survive, and some visible portions have been restored or reconstructed. They should not be read as a continuous untouched medieval fortification.
Change, conservation and interpretation
Use the wall remains to connect monuments with the wider urban landscape protected by the World Heritage designation.
