Yes, there was a time when they built fortresses, kazyrms, gates with towers. It is a pity that there is only one gate left. The barracks buildings have been preserved, one on Afrosiyab Street, the other almost parallel, on the other side of the former fortress along I. Karimov Street. Interestingly, if you look from a bird's eye view, you can still see that the shape of the fortress was in the form of an eight-sided star. The corners of the barracks clearly outline this. Tashkent beauty and practicality of that time were welcomed even in such small details of construction!
I live next to them. Now it's the president's security detail. I do not know what is behind the gates and on their territory, since no one is allowed there, and it is definitely impossible to take pictures. But the building is very old and beautiful. It was recently renovated. The fence was painted, the windows were changed, but of course I do not know what is on the territory...
The security service of the President. I live next to them. I don't even know what to say about them, since naturally no one is allowed there. But the building is old and looks beautiful...
