Memorials to visit Andijan

The Babur Memorial was built in 1993, on the very spot where, according to legend, the last Timurid ruler turned to take a last look at his city before leaving for Afghanistan. On the entrance walls, a fresco illustrates the great events in Babur's life, from his accession to the throne at the age of 12 to his death in 1530, including his exile in Afghanistan and the creation of his empire in India. Babur was originally buried in Agra, India, before his grave was moved to Kabul, Afghanistan.
