Amir Temur Square

Formerly known as Konstantinovsky Square, Amir Temur Square is located in the center of Tashkent and is the best spot to start your tour of the city. The Square is marked by a bronze statue of Amir Temur riding horseback. It is surrounded by many buildings like “Uzbekistan” Hotel, the University of Law, the Amir Timur Museum, Tashkent Chimes, and the Forums Palace. The main square is covered with grass and pavements around the square are decorated with flowers. The roads surrounding the square lead to all parts of the city.

The famous Amir Temur Museum is located nearby. This museum offers a comprehensive overview of Temur's life, military conquests, and the cultural achievements of his era. The most popular landmark in the Square is the clock tower known as Tashkent Chimes. It stands as an eternal symbol of the city. The clock of this tower was removed from the town hall of Koenigsberg during the attack by Soviet troops by the watchmaker Alexander Eisenstein who later brought it to his native city Tashkent and proposed the project for this clock tower.
