Historia
Vardanzi, also Vardanze, is an ancient and medieval town located 40 kilometres (25 mi) north-east of Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Today there is a reserve in Shafirkan Bukhara region. Historian Narshakhi recorded that Vardana was a big settlement containing the Kuhandiz Ark, a fortified inner city. From "time immemorial" the rulers of Vardana—the Vardan-khudats—resided here. Vardana was founded much earlier than Bukhara. It was built by an otherwise unknown Sasanian prince named Shapur, son of a Sasanian ruler Khusraw and situated on the fringe of Turkestan. Remnants of the old Vardana settlement, now known as Vardanze, have survived as a large hill. Vardana, Narshakhi believed, was older than Bukhara, having been built in the 6th century A.D.
