Cemeteries and memorials to visit Tashkent

This ancient necropolis has suffered multiple damage before being renovated. The complex comprises three mausoleum dating from the fifteenth century: the mausoleum of Kaldirgach Bey, built at the beginning of the xve and which is the oldest construction of Tashkent, the Younous Khan mausoleum (descendant of Gengis Khan and Babur grandfather) dates from the end of xve, and the mausoleum of Sheik Khavendi Takhoura (says: Sheik Antaour), built in the fifteenth century and rebuilt at the beginning of the nineteenth, according to the original plans. Sheik Antaour and Kaldirgach Bey are ancestors of Khodja Akhrar, one of the great spiritual masters of Central Asia, whose mausoleum is located in Samarkand. They are highly respected as Sufi masters in Central Asia.

The Monument of Courage was erected in memory of the victims of the earthquake of April 26, 1966. With an amplitude of 8.3, the earthquake was fortunately more destructive than deadly. The commemorative statue rests on a fractured floor, evoking the cracks that crisscrossed the Uzbek capital and end at the foot of a very Soviet-looking shirtless figure protecting a woman and her child. The fresco surrounding the monument illustrates the reconstruction of the capital by workers from all over the former USSR.
