Annotation: In this article, the development of Bukhara in terms of city composition, arch and rabad structures typical of medieval cities, the formation of guzars, and the historical topography of holy places are studied. Furthermore, the article delves into analyzing the role of sacred sites in shaping guzars, their specific locations in relation to these sites, and their evolution into vital components of Bukhara's historical topography. The holy places of Bukhara, as an integral part of medieval urban planning, are not only a unique architectural landmark but also a valuable resource in their expression of important information about urban architecture, building traditions, urbanization processes, social life, and the spiritual and religious image of the population, as well as the historical topography of the city. The above-mentioned cemetries initially consisted of the graves of famous people, mystics, and theologians, and later their surroundings were expanded with new graves. Such a process can be explained by the deep integration of religious faith into the spiritual and domestic life of society. Ordinary people believed that burying the deceased near the saints would ensure their well-being in the afterlife. These cemeteries can be located both within and outside the city. Gradually, residential areas began to develop around the cemeteries. As social life continued, the population became denser and new bazaars, neighborhoods, and districts were formed. Therefore, the holy places became an important component of the city’s topography and had an impact on the expansion of its territory.
