The Throne Courtyard of the Ark Fortress is located inside Bukhara's main citadel, in the historic center of the city. It is one of the ceremonial sections of the Ark, associated with the official life of the court of Bukhara's rulers. Formal receptions, state ceremonies and, by tradition, important acts of power, including the accession of the ruler to the throne, took place here.

The main feature of the courtyard is a marble throne created in the 17th century by craftsmen from Nurata. Above the throne was a painted wooden canopy supported by marble columns. Even in its current state, this space helps visitors imagine how the ceremonial part of the emir's residence was arranged and how much importance was given to official ritual.

Service premises of the citadel were located next to the courtyard. According to historical records, the treasury was nearby, where locally minted coins and jewels belonging to the emirs of Bukhara were kept. This emphasizes that the Throne Courtyard was not only a place for ceremonies, but also part of a complex administrative and court ensemble.

For tourists, the Throne Courtyard is interesting as one of the most illustrative parts of the Ark Fortress, where the history of the Emirate of Bukhara is especially clearly perceived. A visit to this section is usually combined with a walk through the entire citadel and a visit to other monuments of old Bukhara located nearby.
