Toqi Sarrofon is one of Bukhara's iconic trading domes, built in the 16th century as a market for money changers and jewelers. Today, its vaulted brick halls house stalls selling carpets, ceramics, silk scarves, and local crafts. The atmosphere buzzes with merchants and tourists haggling under the central dome's skylight. Visitors can watch artisans at work and find unique souvenirs, from hand-painted plates to embroidered textiles. The structure's architectural design, with multiple entrances and a circular layout, reflects the ingenuity of medieval Central Asian bazaars.
