For centuries, bazaars have been the pulsating centers of oriental cities, emerging at the crossroads of trade routes and evolving into bustling hubs where people converge to exchange goods, news, and pleasantries.
The Chorsu Bazaar, with its rich legacy spanning over a century, has long stood on Eski-Juva, the city’s main square. While the original structures have succumbed to time, the essence of traditional architecture endures in the form of grand domed edifices—a timeless solution to the relentless Central Asian heat and dust.
The architectural evolution of such bazaars, characterized by a network of covered spaces, began in the 11th century and continued through the 13th century. The Chorsu Bazaar of today is a harmonious blend of past and present, a modern commercial complex that pays homage to the architectural and urban development traditions of bygone eras. It stands out with its interconnected blue domes, each a crown atop the bustling trade halls below.
