Chorsu is a distinctive blue-domed structure that once served as a bustling market hub in old Samarkand. Today, it houses a compact shopping area where visitors can browse local handicrafts, souvenirs, and traditional textiles. The building's architecture, with its central dome and tilework, reflects classic Central Asian design. It's a quiet spot to experience a slice of local commerce away from the main tourist sites.
