About Shakhrisabz

Shakhrisabz (Persian: shahr-i sabz (city of green / verdant city), is a city in Qashqadaryo Region in southern Uzbekistan located approximately 90 km south of Samarkand.
  Formerly known as Kesh or Kish (i.e., "heart-pleasing") and tentatively identified with the ancient Nautaca, Shahrisabz is one of Central Asia’s most ancient cities. It was founded more than 2,700 years ago. Its name was officially changed to Shahrisabz in the modern era.
 Shahrisabz was the birthplace of Timur on April 9, 1336, to the family of a minor local chief, and during the early years of theTimurid Dynasty, enjoyed its considerable patronage. Timur regarded Shahrisabz as his “home town” and planned it eventually to be the location of his tomb. However, during the Timurid period, the center of activity shifted to Samarkand instead.
