Amir Temur Square, where the monument to the great military leader was erected, is located in the center of Tashkent. Exactly from there roads go to all corners of the country and neighboring countries. Walking along the paths to the monument to Amir Temur, you will see the great commander sitting on a horse, raising his hand to the sky, as if he was blessing the nation.
On the monument you will read his wise words: ”Strength in Justice”, written in three languages.
The history of the square is very interesting. It was first developed in 1870 by the architects of the Russian Empire as the central park of new Tashkent and named Constantine Square. Since then, the main monument in the center of the square has been changed several times. The first was a monument to General Kaufman, which was later replaced by a monument to Free Workers in 1917, then by a monument to the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution in 1927, a monument to Stalin in 1947, a monument to Karl Marx in 1968.
The monument to Amir Temur was erected in 1993, so the square is called Amir Temur Khieboni.
