The story

Registan is the most photographed spot in all of Uzbekistan, as Nicolò Balini notes — and early in the morning, with only about 30 people around, its grandeur becomes almost private. The madrassas rise in blue tiles and geometric patterns, a stunning ensemble that rewards those who arrive before the crowds.

Once a sandy square for public gatherings, the space has been transformed into this architectural masterpiece. It’s a place where history feels both vast and intimate, worthy of the pilgrimage.

    Registan is the most photographed spot in all of Uzbekistan, and I can see why. Early in the morning it was almost empty — maybe 30 people total — and the architecture of the madrassas with their blue tiles and geometric patterns is stunning. It used to be a sandy square for public gatherings before it became this incredible ensemble.
