A publicist told about the ancient city of Sarakhs in present-day Turkmenistan

Serdar Akiniyazov, a well-known art publicist, spoke about the cultural and historical monuments, crafts and other interesting features of the ancient city of Sarakhs. This settlement was the largest trade center located on the Great Silk Road, connecting the countries of the West and the East.

Sarakhs had a special fame during the period of 10-12 centuries, when it was a part of the Turkmen state of the Great Seljuks. The publicist focused his attention on the art of the Sarakh master builders, who created a unique school of architecture known throughout the world.

В числе знаковых памятников архитектуры, дошедших до наших дней, – мавзолей туркменского святого, в народе называемого Сарахс-баба. Акиниязов рассказал о первых описаниях мавзолея европейцами, а также подчеркнул его оригинальную архитектуру, сочетающую простоту, гармонию пропорций и композиционную чистоту сооружения. Не случайно мавзолей Сарахс-баба внесен в список наиболее ярких образцов средневекового зодчества Туркменистана.
