The square is always bustling with people. It is a must-visit attraction for foreign tourists exploring Tashkent and a favorite leisure destination 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 as a symbol of Uzbekistan’s sovereignty. Lush with green trees and verdant lawns, the square is also a great place for children to play.
