particular, the process of receiving the Spanish ambassadors of Amir Temur, led by Ryu Gonzalez de Clavijo, in the
Garden of Dilkusho is fully reflected. Dilkusho Garden is a garden located 6 km from Samarkand, on the sunny side,
built in 1396-1399 (this garden is called "Dilikiya" in the "Daily"). The Garden of Plane (a garden on the right bank of
the Siyob River in the southern part of Samarkand, also known as the Baychinor in the Kundalik) is also described as
follows; “... It was a huge garden with a lot of fruit and ornamental trees in the shade. The walkway and trails in the
garden are surrounded by barriers. There are many tents and umbrellas in the garden, which are covered with silk
fabrics and floral rugs sewn in a combination and other ways. In the middle of the garden there is a beautiful building
in the shape of an eyebrow, decorated with very strange things. ”[3, 67 b] In Klavikho's“ Kundaligi ”there is another
garden, the Garden variety (This garden is called“ Bagino ”in“ Kundaligi ” located and built in 1404). “The garden was
surrounded by a rectangular high wall, with a tall, round tower at each corner. In the middle of the garden is a large
house in the shape of an eyebrow, in front of which there is a pool. This house is much more magnificent than the
buildings we have seen so far, and its walls are decorated with gold and lavender paints. ” [3, 69 b] In general, in the
"Diary" of Clavijo we find interesting information about the classification of gardens
built by Amir Temur and the
weddings held in these gardens in October 1404. Historians of that time expressed
interesting views on the
beautification work carried out during the reign of Amir Temur. In particular, we can read the following information in
Ibn Arabshah's book "Ajayib ul-maqdur fi tarihi Taymur" (Miracles of Destiny in the History of Timur): "Temur built
many orchards and high and strong palaces in Samarkand. Each
of them was in a strange order,
graceful and
wonderful. Strengthens the base of the orchards and decorates them with sensible fruit seedlings. He called one of
them the Garden of Eram, the other the Garden of the World, the other the Garden of Paradise, the Garden of the
North, and the High Paradise. He also demolished some places and built a tower inside each of the orchards ... Amir
Temur rode to one side, free from Samarkand's troops and helpers, and if those orchards were empty,
the rich and
poor of the city would go to those orchards. Because there was no better and more wonderful
place to relax and
enjoy than these gardens. The sweet, delicious fruits in the orchards were equal (free) to all. Because not a single
piece of fruit was sold for a pittance. ”
In conclusion, it should be noted that in independent Uzbekistan, in particular in Samarkand, along with the
study of the history of horticulture in the time of Amir Temur, archaeologists, historians and architects are working
together to restore Samarkand gardens.
