The Cultural Heritage Sites of Ancient Khuttal, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Tajikistan, encompass the remains of a significant 9th- to 12th-century town, once the capital of the Bactrian Kingdom of Khuttal. The site, notably the ancient town of Hulbuk, features a preserved palace complex, ancient baths, places of worship, and cemeteries, reflecting its historical prominence along the Silk Road. Its reconstructed fortress walls and archaeological remnants highlight its role as a major cultural and trade center in Central Asia.
