In Samarkand, the main government palace of Amir Temur, and then Ulug Bek, was Kuk-Saray ("Blue Palace"). It was located inside the citadel of Kal'a and enjoyed ill fame. Along with the state offices, the treasury was the Prison, where they kept high-ranking officials.
The palace was the 4th, and, obviously, towered over the walls, the service is a kind of patrol point. The name Kook-Saray, obviously, was obliged to the abundance of facings by glazed tiles and bricks with the predominance of a blue-blue range.
