Temple of George the Victorious Samarkand

The Church of St. George is one of the famous Orthodox churches of the country and Samarkand. Dating back to 1868, designed by Lemke. At first the church was small and belonged to the military. In 1928, a fire destroyed part of the building and it was abandoned. Only in 1937, thanks to the nun Yunia, the building was bought for Christian needs, and eventually it was transferred to the St. George community. In 1958, the temple was consecrated in honor of George the Victorious. It is designed for 10-20 parishioners daily, on holidays the number of believers can reach up to 150 people. The decoration is very modest, but the atmosphere of peace and warmth makes it unique. You can get there by bus number 52, 66, 72, 77.
