Chorsu Bazaar in Tashkent

Eski Juva bazaar is the biggest and oldest, not only in Uzbekistan but in the whole of Central Asia. Located in the heart of the Old Town of the capital and next to Chorsu square, Eski Juva has been operating on the same spot for over two thousand years. It is built near the majestic Friday Jami Mosque and the Kukeldash Madrassah, dating back to the 15th – 16th centuries.
The stalls in this ancient bazaar stand under seven huge domes covered with colored glazed tiles. I was so overwhelmed and impressed with the abundance and diversity of the produce and products sold.
