Summary

Description

Back in the day the ramparts of Hisor Fort overlooked a bustling square (registan) with shops and other facilities. All that remains are two madrasas (Islamic schools). On the left, next to the foundations of a caravanserai (roadside inn) built in 1808, is the old madrasa, Madrasa-i Kuhna, which dates from the 16th Century. On the right is the new madrasa, Madrasa-i Nau, which dates from the 17th Century. In the front of the two madrasas in the former registan is what’s left of a bathhouse.

Hisor Fort is not far from the capital Dushanbe near the town of Hisor.
