Message from Graziano e Federica

Zindan, located in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, is infamous for its Bug Pit, a four-meter deep hole where prisoners like British soldiers Connolly and Stoddart were tortured with scorpions, bugs, and rodents. The soldiers ended up spending time in the pit before being executed by the Emir of Bukhara. Today, mannequins eerily depict the harsh conditions of imprisonment in Zindan, making it a chilling reminder of its dark past.
