For centuries, the city of Samarkand was one of the most important and progressive Iranian-Islamic cities throughout the eastern lands of the Islamic Caliphate. This city reached its peak of prosperity, especially in the Samanid period. But Samarkand, like the Samanid period, has been researched mainly for its political and cultural importance.
