I arrived after sunset and the building was closed to public. However, the attendant opened the gate and let a group of us into the premises. We spoke a little and upon finding out that I had travelled from far, asked us to stay and she got a priest to bring us around. It was amazing to see the historical and cultural importance of this place. It was built by volunteers and then later left in disrepute for a long time before being restored to its former glory. The priest who brought us around, gave us in depth details about the history of the building and about Catholicism.

10. World War II Memorial

Reviewed By Vukojebinje - London, United Kingdom
Living in Russia at the time I went to Uzbekistan, I was very much used to seeing World War II memorials in any place I went to - but, even so, I found this one particularly moving and impressive. Its setting in a peaceful and well cared for park, coupled with the beautifully designed structures surrounding the eternal flame, make for a very moving place of contemplation and remembrance. I’d recommend visiting the park (which joins Independence Square) in general, but also simply in order to see this memorial.
