Romitan

Central Asia

Romitan, written Ромитан in Russian, is a city in Bukhara Region of Uzbekistan, and the seat of Romitan District. Its recorded population was 9,636 in 1989 and 14,300 in 2016, growth of about 48 percent over 27 years. Archaeological evidence suggests the settlement was founded before the Arab invasion, and it has been mentioned in historical sources since the 10th century, when it was part of the Samanid state; the historian Narshakhi called it Ramtin and described a large fortress there. The Bukhara Region is one of the regions into which Uzbekistan is divided. Uzbekistan is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, so Romitan has no coast.
