Bukhara: the historic centre

Bukhara Jewish Cemetery

The Bukhara Jewish Cemetery south of the city centre. The Bukharan Jews are probably one of the oldest ethno-religious groups of the entire region, and while not living solely in this city, it was one of the places they were numerous until well into the 20th century. The cemetery is testimony to their presence, coming to life through the realistically and solemnly carved figures on the tombstones.
