Historia
Tugunbulak was a medieval city in the Turkestan Range, located in what is now southeastern Uzbekistan, in the Bakhmal District, close to the village of Guralash and near Zaamin National Park. It and the nearby contemporary site of Tashbulak were occupied from the 6th to the late 10th centuries CE. Situated at altitudes of 2,000–2,200 m (6,600–7,200 ft), the city was a center of iron mining and production, through which it was connected to the Silk Road trading networks. Tugunbulak's remains occupy an area of approximately 120 ha, making it medieval Central Asia's largest known high-altitude urban center. It contained extensive walls, terraces, and fortifications.
