Tashkent, the capital city of Uzbekistan, with a population of more than 2 million, is the major economic, political and cultural center of the Republic.

Its history spans over 2 millennia, although few monuments from ancient times have survived here. Wars and natural calamities have swept most of the old buildings from the face of the ancient city. Among the survivors are: The Kukeldash Madrassah (16th century), the Sheikhantaur Ensemble (15th century), the Yunus-Khan Mausoleum (15th century) and the Khazrati-lrnarn Complex (16th century).
A variety of museums, art exhibitions and craft centers offer a closer lock at Uzbek culture and history.

After a disastrous earthquake in 1966 Tashkent was almost totally rebuilt. Modern apartment houses, administrative buildings, new architectural complexes and theatres decorated with traditional tile-work make Tashkent and attractive and interesting city.
