hanks to independence, a wide path has been opened for the study of the centuries-old rich historical, scientific, cultural and religious heritage of the Uzbek people, and its use as a common and invaluable property of the people. Spiritual wealth, values, are considered an invaluable treasure and source of development of the state, nation, individual. The science of history is of particular importance in strengthening and developing this spiritual and ideological foundation.

We have many ancient cities such as Bukhara, Samarkand, Khiva, Tashkent, Kokand. There are many cities on the territory of Uzbekistan that are at least 2000 years old.

During the years of independence, the anniversaries of our ancient cities - the 2500th anniversary of Bukhara (1997), the 2500th anniversary of Khiva (1997), the 2500th anniversary of Termez (2002), the 2700th anniversary of Shahrisabz (2002), the 2200th anniversary of Tashkent (2009), and others - were celebrated with great festivities.

Bukhara is one of the ancient and ever-young cities in our country. The city of Bukhara is also distinguished by its antiquity and the uniqueness of its architecture. The fact that the city of Bukhara is a city, its history and architecture determine the relevance of the topic.
