Istaravshan is one of the largest ancient cities in the world since its founding in the 6th century BC. The Persian king Cyrus of the Achaemenid dynasty (529-559 BC) called the new city in his honor, Kurush Kada which is located in northern Tajikistan, in the foothills of the Turkestan Range, at an altitude of about 1000 meters above sea level. In 2002, the city celebrated 2500 years. An interesting fact of the story is that Alexander the Great was wounded for the first time during the conquest of this city.
The architectural monument of the Sari Mazor Mausoleum is located in the city of Istaravshan in the Sughd region in the north of the Republic of Tajikistan. The Sari Mazor Mausoleum is a 16th century architectural monument and is a two-chamber, two-domed structure.

Nestled in the Fergana Valley, Khujand stands as one of Central Asia’s oldest living cities, its history stretching back over 2,500 years. Once a thriving Silk Road hub known as Alexandria Eschate—founded by Alexander the Great—the city retains layers of its past, from ancient fortresses to Soviet relics. Today, as Tajikistan’s second-largest city, Khujand pulses with the energy of its bazaars and the quiet grandeur of its monuments, offering a rare blend of antiquity and modernity.
In the heart of the Fann Mountains, in northern Tajikistan, the Fan Niagara waterfall dramatically marks the spectacular exit of Lake Iskander (Iskanderkul, Iskenderkul). At this spot, the lake’s turquoise waters rush into a rocky gorge and powerfully plunge 38 meters down, forming a roaring curtain of foam that echoes throughout the valley.
