Om
Snabba fakta: Ett 30 meter stort jordglobmonument markerar centrum av detta vidsträckta torg, dess bronskarta visar Uzbekistans gränser i relief. Över 2 000 vattenstrålar dansar över flera fontäner som sträcker sig nästan en kilometer genom torget.
Höjdpunkter: Jordglobmonumentet roterar faktiskt långsamt och gör ett helt varv var 24:e timme precis som den riktiga jorden. Sexton böjda stenkolonner som omger torget har var och en sniderier som representerar en annan region i Uzbekistan, från Aralsjöns fiskar till bomullsfälten i Ferghana.
Insidertips
- Walk past the globe monument to the Alley of Heroes behind it, where a small museum about independence is tucked underground.
- Visit on a weekend evening when local families come out for leisurely strolls, giving the square a festive atmosphere.
- The best photo spot is from the raised platform near the government building entrance, which gets the globe and fountain symmetry in one frame.
- Skip midday summer visits when the marble surfaces reflect intense heat and there's almost no shade.
