Postcard from Uzbekistan!

Today I got a beautiful postcard from Uzbekistan! The postcard shows a street view of Sher-Dor Madrasah in Samarkand. It is located on Ragistan Square and translates to "Madrassah with Lions." It was built in the early 17th century and is also located opposite the Ulugbek Madrassah, whose design it mimics. It is ornately decorated with glazed bricks with lines from the Quran. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thanks Igor!
