Throughout many centuries, Khujand has been associated with its fortress, experiencing periods of prosperity, destruction, and reconstruction. In its rich history, it has always symbolized the steadfastness and strength of the people.

During the heyday of the Great Silk Road, the fortress underwent significant renovations, as did the city wall. However, the city continued to expand, divided into three parts: the citadel, Rabat, and Shahristan. During those times, the Khujand Fortress was considered one of the most impregnable fortresses in Central Asia.

Today, the Khujand Fortress represents historical traces of walls and gates, as well as an area of archaeological excavations where one can find the foundations of the first defensive structures. The DWC tour company invites you to embark on this historical journey to explore the legacy of the past and feel its spirit.
