Submay: Alisher Navoi

This stop. Alisher Navoi Station, Tashkent.

Alisher Navoi was opened in 1984 and is a major transfer hub on the Tashkent Metro. The capital city of Uzbekistan boasts one of the most striking metros in the world. While all the stations share the Soviet grand aesthetic, their individual ornate designs borrow heavily from the local Islamic culture. Alisher Navoi is the stand-out example.

It is named after Nizām al-Din Ali Shīr Navā'i, a writer, poet, painter, politician and mystic who was born in the 15th century. It is unclear whether any of his work is featured in the station.
