It is more interesting to know information about this observatory than to visit it itself. Unfortunately, it has hardly been preserved. In addition to a small section of the underground part of the observatory, there is a small museum on the territory of the complex. The photo shows everything that can be seen.
There is basically nothing to see, the Museum is meager.The guides are not bad, they try to make up for the asceticism of the artifacts.The monument is really large-scale
Kapets, here are people cramming in to create such a thing. You look and wonder, of course there's not much left, but it's worth watching the whole thing once
It takes your breath away when you look at the observatory live. Thanks to the guard, he told me/he showed a lot of historical events about this place (we arrived late in the evening, there was no one there, despite this, the guard went to meet us, respect to him for this)
The remains of the observatory, its underground part, have been well preserved to this day, testifying to the high development of science, culture, architecture of Central Asia in the 14th and 15th centuries.There is a museum dedicated to Mirzo Ulugbek nearby. Take a guided tour, so that you can learn more about the culture of that period, about the spiritual and lifestyle, about the works of Ulugbek, but the most interesting thing is that you will be initiated into the legend of the disappearance of the huge library fund of Mirzo Ulugbek, collected for so long and so irretrievably lost.
