The Silk Road has existed in many forms since ancient times. It is the trade route through central Asia which links China with the Middle East, and, ultimately, the Mediterranean world. We will explore its development and its heyday in the 13th and 14th centuries. Highlights will include the architecture of Samarkand and Bukhara, and artistic treasures of Yuan Dynasty China.
