Chorsu (Samarkand)

Chorsu is located in the southern-eastern part of Registan, connecting the roads to Samarkand, Tashkent, Bukhara, and Shahrisabz.

Until the beginning of the 20th century, the building was used by merchants and traders to sell clothing, headgear, fabrics, medicines, books, and various other goods.

From the Soviet era onwards, the monument building was adapted for memorial purposes, and it was used for selling small items and souvenirs.

[6] In 2005, the trading dome was fully restored, and a three-meter layer of soil was removed to raise the building's height.

[3][7] Over the years, Chorsu has been visited by numerous famous Uzbek and foreign artists and sculptors who displayed their works.
