Talipach Gate & City Walls
Talipoch darvozasi
One of the best-preserved of Bukhara's 11 ancient city gates. The adobe walls still standing on either side let you imagine desert caravans entering the city in earlier times.
Bukhara once had a circuit of adobe walls about 12 kilometers long and 11 gates, most of which were demolished in the 20th century. Talipach Gate (meaning 'Gate of the Hat Sellers') stands in the northwest of the old city. Twin round towers flank the gatehouse, and a long stretch of wall has been restored. It is the most direct place to experience the old city's boundary. Few tourists come here, and outside the walls are a local market and residential neighborhoods. Entry is free. It is about a 10-minute walk northwest from Samani Park, and you can also visit the ruins of Karakul Gate to the southwest on the way.
