@gouzbekistan: Chorsu Bazaar is the historic heart of Tashkent’s Old City, a bustling marketplace that has existed here for centuries as a crossroads of trade — literally “Chorsu” comes from a Persian word meaning “four ways” (a major intersection). It was a crucial trading hub on the ancient Silk Road long before modern Uzbekistan existed. The bazaar’s huge blue-domed building — its most recognisable feature — was built in the 20th century by Soviet-era architects but visually echoes traditional Central Asian design. #uzbekistan #rek #chorsu
