Tashkent Independence Square

Tashkent Independence Square

Tashkent Independence Square is the most important square in Uzbekistan, a symbol of freedom and independence, as well as a place of hope where the ideals of a generation became reality and key moments in history unfolded. Covering an area of 12 hectares, Tashkent Independence Square is a source of pride for the Uzbek people, reflecting their deep reverence and love for the square.

The square is always bustling with people. It is a must-visit attraction for foreign tourists in Tashkent and the best recreational spot for local residents. It’s hard to imagine that 150 years ago, this site was a battlefield surrounded by defensive walls. During the Soviet era, the square was redesigned and used for military parades on public holidays. The Independence Monument, erected in 1991, stands in the square and symbolizes Uzbekistan’s sovereignty. Lined with lush trees and green lawns, the square is also a great place for children to play.
