瓦刺赫沙古城(Varakh-Sha Settlement),公元前2世纪至公元11世纪;
瓦拉赫沙考古遗址代表了阿拉伯征服前丝绸之路上的一个贸易定居点和宫殿。它是粟特人的政治中心，也是布哈拉·库达茨（BukharKhudats）的户外住所，拥有高度设防的城堡和设计精巧的宫殿，其“红色”和“蓝色”大厅的壁画以及雪花石膏雕刻装饰（8世纪）尤为罕见，这些装饰将粟特传统与印度、萨珊王朝、倭马亚王朝的元素相结合。瓦拉赫沙定居点是绿洲西部边境上的一个重要军事前哨，也是位于布哈拉和花拉子模之间道路上的一个重要贸易中心，是游牧民族与定居人口接触区的一个大型农业中心，该中心由距离布哈拉绿洲西墙不远的运河灌溉。瓦拉赫沙还因其对布哈拉传统前伊斯兰历法以及阿拉伯征服时期的特殊作用而具有关联价值。该遗址还具有揭示此类定居点典型的城市规划、建筑和艺术特征的科学潜力。
