Detail of Emir's throne, Kurinysh-Khana (Reception), Ark Fortress, Bukhara, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 9, 2010 in the morning. Initially a massive earthen fortification built in the 5th century, the Ark remained Bukhara's fortress until it was badly damaged in 1920 when the city was besieged by the Bolsheviks. It now houses museums. The oldest of surviving building in the Ark is the Kurinysh-Khana or reception area. Its stone paved courtyard is surrounded on three sides by wooden columns, and the Emir's throne canopy is supported by four carved columns of nurata marble. Bukhara, a city on the Silk Route is about 2500 years old. Its long history is displayed both through the impressive monuments and the overall town planning and architecture.
