Kulob, Ancient settlement in Khatlon Province, Tajikistan
Kulob extends across the valley of the Jachsu River at an elevation of 580 meters, forming the fourth largest urban center in Tajikistan.
The city records date back to the 13th century when Genghis Khan dispatched 1,000 soldiers from Samarkand to establish control over this strategic Silk Road point.
The mausoleum of Sufi mystic Sayyid Ali Hamadani stands as a central religious monument, drawing pilgrims from numerous regions to this spiritual site.
The local airport maintains regular connections to Moscow, while the railway station provides transportation services to Dushanbe through Bokhtar twice per week.
A Greek inscription from 200-195 BC found in Kulob documents Heliodotos dedicating a fire altar to Hestia during the reign of King Euthydemus I.
