Khalchayan, Archaeological site in Surchandarja region, Uzbekistan

The archaeological complex spans over 240 meters on each side and contains a fortress surrounded by defensive walls and water channels.

The settlement dates back to the mid-1st century BCE and underwent expansion during the Kushan Dynasty in the early centuries CE.

The central palace contains a four-column hall decorated with painted terracotta sculptures depicting rulers, deities, and mounted warriors at different heights.

Located 10 kilometers from Denau city, the site presents excavated structures including a palatial building measuring 26 by 35 meters.

The terracotta figures found in the main gallery demonstrate individual facial features and remain among the most important sculptural discoveries in Central Asia.
