Revealing Uzbekistan: Exploring the Enigmatic Architecture of Tashkent's Subway
Tashkent stands as one of Central Asia's most magnificent historic subways in Uzbekistan. With its impressive and distinctive architecture, it garners attention from people around the globe.
Despite boasting architectural style reminiscent of Central Asia, Tashkent remained hidden due to a photography ban. In the summer of 2018, the government permitted photography in Tashkent, leading to captivating images that captivated tourists.
The Tashkent subway was built during the Soviet era, commencing operations in 1977. It wasn't until June 2018 that new images were introduced to the world.
One of Tashkent's highlights is the portrait of Valentina Tereshkova – the first woman to travel into space – at Kosmonavtlar station. The interior decor features shades of green representing Earth's atmosphere layers.
It is known that interior images of Tashkent's subway have not been publicly disclosed for a long time due to military sensitivity. Throughout the war, this subway system was used for nuclear bomb defense purposes.
Tashkent boasts vaulted architectural style reminiscent of mosques. To experience the journey of this subway, travelers must pay a fare of about 1,200 soms, equivalent to 0.15 USD.
