During its long history, Paikend was one of the main trade cities. There were found coins of Sasanid Iran, Samanids, Tang China, Merv and Fergana. Arab historians called the city “City of Merchants”. The first settlement appeared here in the III century BC. Later there was built a square citadel thickness of 30 metres. The town consisted of two parts: shahristan and citadel. There were ruler’s palace and his residence in the citadel. The samples of Sogdian military architecture of V-VI centuries (ruins of ten towers) were well preserved in the western part of the city. These are rectangular two-storey buildings with three rows of loopholes. In IX century Paikend became one of the centres of Islam. During the reign of Samanid dynasty there were built a large number of buildings in Paikend.
