About the place
Tashkent residents began this park in 1932 on the old clay pits of a brick works, building it by hashar, or voluntary community labour. In Soviet times it was the city's central park of culture and rest; it was laid out anew around 1991 for the 550th anniversary of the poet Alisher Navoi and now covers more than 60 hectares, including a lake and canals.
On a hill in the middle a statue of Navoi stands under a domed rotunda reached by marble steps. Around the park are the Parliament building, the Navruz wedding palace, the Istiqlol concert hall, the 16th-century Abulkasim Madrasa and the Alley of Writers, opened in 2017.
Why go
