Tashkent, Capital city in northeastern Uzbekistan.

The grid layout of Tashkent contains wide avenues, green spaces, and canals fed by the Chirchiq River at an elevation of 455 meters.

The settlement emerged between the 5th and 3rd centuries BC as an oasis on trade routes, later becoming a central point for commerce between Europe and East Asia.

The Hazrati Imam Complex, Kukeldash Madrasa, and Alisher Navoi Opera Theatre display the architectural evolution from medieval Islamic to modern Central Asian designs.

The extensive metro system connects all districts with 50 stations, while Islam Karimov International Airport links the city to destinations across Asia and Europe.

The 1966 earthquake caused a complete reconstruction of Tashkent, transforming it into a model Soviet city with planned neighborhoods and modern infrastructure systems.
