30 km from Ourgentch. Uzs, who is over 2 500 years old, is a unique curiosity. The clinquantes renovations gave him an aspect of cinema decor that was all the more unreal since the inner city was emptied of its inhabitants by the Soviets. Today, Uzs has 40 000 inhabitants, but only 1 500 families have, since independence, recovered their homes inside the first wall. Architectural side is a real journey over time, even though most monuments are no older than New York. Until the th century, Uzs had no economic, political or military power. But that is precisely its particularity, that it has been so fixed over time without any major changes.
