Must visit place in Tashkent. Each subway station has its own design and history. You can feel Soviet atmosphere.

In the old part of the city of Tashkent, to the north of the "Chorsu" bazaar, there is the complex of Khast Imam or Hazrat Imam. The square has a great cultural and religious significance not only for Tashkent, but for the whole of Central Asia as a center of religious and cultural heritage. At its heart is the Hazrat Iman Mosque. Great to look at and walk across the square. Spectacular! Of the numerous sites surrounding the square, the most important is undoubtedly the Muyi Muborak Library. Muyi Muborak means 'the sacred hair', a reference to a holy relic held here: a hair said to have belonged to the Prophet Muhammad. Amongst its rare manuscripts collection, the library also holds the world's oldest Qu'ran. This Qu'ran was produced just 19 years after the death of Muhammad. Next door to the library is the 16th-century Barak-Khan Madrassa, and, immediately opposite it, the Tellya Sheikh Mosque, formerly Tashkent's main place of worship. Alone with the many blue domes, the minarets, this place is worth seeing. With the history that this place contains. Great. The only thing necessary. You need to speak Russian, or need a guide. Only a few people speak English.

Every time we go to Tashkent, we stop by Abulkasym Madrassah. Even when we don't buy anything (and there is A LOT worth buying), we have a great time talking to the artists and learning about their craft.
