Short description of Tashkent
Tashkent is the largest city in Central Asia and the way almost everyone enters Uzbekistan, and an earthquake in 1966 flattened the old town, so what stands is a Soviet capital of wide avenues, fountains and mosaic-fronted blocks. The metro built after it has stations finished in marble, brass and chandeliers and was a military secret until 2018. The Chorsu bazaar under its blue dome is the one piece of the older city that still works as it did. The Khast Imam complex holds a Koran said to be among the oldest in the world.
