Bukhara being the crossroad of the Silk Road, had a lively traid. The Sheibanids dynasty, who ruled Bukhara in the 16 century, paid a great attention to the development trade by building trading domes. Five trading domes were build in Bukhara at that time. These domes were examples of civil  architecture of the 16 c., but only three of them have come down to our days. Each dome has its own name. The domes were called according to what was sold in them.
