Shukhov Water Tower

Viewpoint · Bukhara

Built in 1929 to a design by the famous engineer Vladimir Shukhov, it was originally a water tower and is now the highest observation deck in Bukhara. Its lattice steel structure is regarded as a monument of modern engineering. From the top a 360-degree panorama opens over the Ark, Poi Kalon and all the domes of the old city; the view is best at sunset.
