3Historic Centre of Bukhara, Uzbekistan
Date of Inscription: 1993

While individual highlights like the beautiful brick Poi-Kalyan minaret, the Magoki Attori mosque, and the famous Ismail Samani tomb are highlights of 10th- and 11th-century Muslim architecture, it’s the entire urban center as a whole, the world’s most complete example of a Central Asian town, that stands out.
