The capital of Uzbekistan, Tashkent, offers a mix of Soviet architecture and historic buildings, such as Independence Square and the Chorsu Bazaar.

As a major capital, Tashkent is the city where the country's economic and political power is concentrated.

It is a city steeped in history, with thousands of years of events behind it and a rather turbulent recent past. The Soviet legacy can still be felt in many of its corners today, which undeniably gives it a particular charisma. Today, Tashkent is not the typical city that embodies the essence of the Silk Road, although it grew thanks precisely to this legendary trade route.

Tashkent is not just a gateway to the rest of Uzbekistan, but a city with its own identity, combining the imprint of Soviet history, the spirituality of its Islamic monuments, and the vitality of a modern city that is constantly renewing itself.

What to see in Tashkent?

Khasti Iman architectural complex

Also known as Hazrat Imam Square, it is a religious center of Tashkent, located in the old part of the city, within the neighborhoods with the old wattle and daub houses that were unfortunately damaged in the 1966 earthquake. This complex appeared next to the tomb of one of the first imams of the city of Tashkent, the famous scientist, scholar of the Quran and Hadith, poet and craftsman Hazrati Imam.On the territory of Hazrat-Imam there are some architectural monuments, including the Brak-Khan Madrasa, the Tillia Sheikh Mosque, the mausoleum of the saint Abu Bakr Kaffal Shashi, and the Islamic Institute of al-Bukhari, where future preachers learn. Also located there is the Central Asian Muslim Spiritual Council, headed by the Mufti.The complex also has a library that houses a large number of oriental manuscripts, including the world-famous Quran of Caliph Uthman – Ottoman.

Madraza Barak Kan

The Barak Khan Madrasa was built in the 16th century by Suyunidzh-Khan, one of the grandsons of the famous astronomer Ulugbek. The site became the seat of the Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of Central Asia and is also home to a large library of oriental manuscripts. A notable feature of the Barak Khan Madrasa library is that it housed the world-famous Quran of Caliph Osman, the primary source of Islam's holy book written in the mid-7th century. This monumental manuscript, consisting of 7 pages of parchment, has traveled through time and empires, safeguarded in the treasuries of the caliphs of Medina, Damascus, and Baghdad, before arriving in Uzbekistan.The madrasa building is built of brick and crowned by three blue domes. The cell doors and the entrance door to the Barak Khan Madrasa are inlaid with ivory and non-ferrous metals.The Barak Khan Madrasa also includes two mausoleums, both of which were built before the construction of the madrasa began.
