Shahrisabz UZ - Ak-Saray Palace 01

Shahrisabz UZ - Ak-Saray Palace 01

            Oq Saroy (White castle) was a castle of the conqueror and later emir Timur in the Uzbek city of Shahrisabz. Only ruins are received from the palace.

Timur was born close to Kesch as Shahrisabz was called at that time, and the town wanted to develop instead of Samarqand to the capital of his empire. Here, hence, he allowed to establish an immense palace. The construction of the castle was begun in 1380 and lasted 24 years till 1404, shortly before Timurs death.

In the 16th century the city of Shahrisabz and with her also became the castle Oq Saroy of Abdullah II., destroyed to to the emir of Buxoro. After the independence of Uzbekistan preservation works were carried out in 1994-1998.

The rests of the palace lie in the north of the historical centre of Shahrisabz in a park near the north gate in the town wall. Above all rests of the 38-metre-high pylon of the former main entrance whose vault had a span of 22 metres are received.

The facade is decorated with wide patterns from sienna-coloured and deep-blue and light blue glazed bricks. A written tape shows the inscription "to God extends the days of the sultan."
