Bazaar is the
heart of every oriental city, the center of public life, breadwinner of the
whole city. Since the dawn of time bazaars appeared on the intersections of
trade roads, on big squares of cities. They played role of main places of the
city, where merchants, traders and common people gathered to discuss important
news, to know prices, to have a rest in cozy choykhana (Uzbek café) eating
pilaf and drinking green tea. Also bazaars were the places of main entertaining
events of the city – theatrical performances.

Tashkent Bazaar
Chorsu, the age of which is more than hundred years, also was always located on
the main square of the city Eski-Juva. Old bazaar constructions destroyed and
went bad, but the traditional architecture remained unchanged – domed large
premises. This was the only way to protect oneself from heat and dust in terms
of hot and dry Asian climate.

Independence
Square as many other places in Tashkent has its own history. Before 1865, not
far from this place there was a palace of Kokand khan. In 1865 the Kokand
khanate was liquidated and by order of the Russian administration and the
construction of a residence for a Turkestan Governor-General began next to it.
Later, this residence with a vast garden was named the White House. In the
colonial period a wappenshaw was held on its ground before the
General-Governor’s residence.

After overall reconstruction carried out in the square, many buildings
were renovated and they acquired a modern look. The central figure of the
square is sixteen marble columns joined by a bridge, supporting the sculptures
of storks who symbolize peace and quietness from the earliest times. The alleys
with green zones and beautiful fountains from their both sides are stretching
from the colonnade to the Independence Monument. Under the monument there is a
figure of a woman holding a baby in her arms – a symbol of Mother-Motherland.
