Monument of Courage

Overview

The Monument of Courage is an outdoor memorial in central Tashkent commemorating the city's recovery from the devastating 1966 earthquake. Erected in 1976 on the disaster's tenth anniversary, the site features a split granite cube marking the exact time of the tremor alongside sculptures representing urban rebuilding. It offers travellers concrete historical context on how modern Tashkent was reshaped.

Getting There

Located in the city centre, the site is accessible on foot or by vehicle. Walking from central Tashkent takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes, while a taxi ride takes roughly 5 to 10 minutes depending on traffic.

Time to Spend

Plan to spend 20 to 30 minutes. The grounds are compact, giving visitors enough time to examine the central monument, stone relief carvings, and surrounding plaza.

When to Visit

Early morning or late afternoon is preferable, particularly during the hot summer months when the open plaza offers little shade. The area receives casual local visitors in the evening but rarely becomes crowded.
