Shahrukhiya, Archaeological site in Uzbekistan

The archaeological site of Shahrukhiya spans 400 hectares along the Syrdarya River, featuring a citadel, urban areas, and trade suburbs.

In 1392, Amir Timur Beg Gurkani established fortified walls around the settlement and named it after his youngest son, Shahrukh Mirza.

The site contains remnants of artisanal workshops, bazaar sections, and municipal infrastructure dating from the Timurid Empire and Khanate of Bukhara periods.

Located 88 kilometers southwest of Tashkent, the site requires appropriate footwear and sun protection for exploring the extensive archaeological remains.

The settlement operated its own mint and maintained continuous habitation from the 3rd century through the 18th century, evolving from a small city.
