About the place

The monument was unveiled on 28 September 1991 for the 550th anniversary of Navoi's birth, after a competition won by the sculptors Eynulla Aliyev, Vasily Degtyarev and Nodar Bandzeladze.

Eight columns hold up a turquoise dome 22 metres high over the statue, and cascading steps, fountains and flower beds lead up to it. The Alley of Writers with statues of other Uzbek authors runs nearby in the same park.

Why go

  • Turquoise rotunda on the park's high point
