The Presidents visit Khujand fortress

31.03.2025

As part of the cultural program of the summit in the city of Khujand, the heads of state of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan visited the Khujand Fortress and learned about its history.

It should be noted that the construction of this unique complex dates back to the 6th-5th centuries BC. Archaeological excavations have revealed that the first fortress was built during this period.

After its reconstruction in 1999, a local history museum was opened next to the fortress, which houses more than 28,000 exhibits.

During the latest restoration, the fortress walls, citadel, and gates were restored, administrative buildings and artisan workshops were constructed, and models of ancient Khujand courtyards were created.

A complex with 5 exhibition halls showcasing the history and culture of the Tajik people was built on the territory. In 8 courtyards, artisans practice calligraphy, painting, making adras fabric, suzani embroidery, stone carving, blacksmithing, and pottery.

The leaders also visited an exhibition of traditional crafts, agriculture, and national cuisine from the three countries, and watched national performances.
