TASHKENTThe Tashkent Metro was built in the 1970s, it became the first transport system of its kind in Central Asia. Today the subway is not only a convenient and fast means of transportation, but also one of the main city attractions. In the decor of the stations national motifs are often present. During the USSR, the Tashkent metro was considered one of the most picturesque in the whole Union.
The square is located in the very center of the city near the place where until the middle of the XIX century there was a palace of the Kokand khans. After the establishment of the Russian protectorate, the residence of the governor-general was built here. In Soviet times, the square was renamed in honor of Lenin. In 1991, a monument to the leader of the proletariat dismantled and erected in its place the monument of Independence.
The square was laid in 1882 by the order of the Turkestan governor-general MG Chernyaev. In its center is a monument to Amir Temur (Tamerlane) - an outstanding statesman of the 14th century who created a huge empire. Until 2009, around the monument was a small park, but after reconstruction it turned into a square with fountains and green lawns. In this place there are several interesting sights.
