The beautiful four-story houses on Beshagach Square were built in the early 1950s according to the design of architects Mitkhat Bulatov and Leonid Karash. These buildings appear in all sets of Tashkent postcards and photo albums as characteristic representatives of the classic Stalinist style in architecture.
The pair of columned buildings are
designed like gates, with Beshagach Street passing between them. These gates
are located opposite the entrance to Magic City Park, formerly Komsomol Lake.
Behind the right building is the
once-popular but now non-operational Beshagach Bazaar.
In 2024, Beshagach Square was
reconstructed, and the buildings received a new appearance in accordance with
the adopted architectural code.
In 2025, sketches of projects for a
multi-story complex behind the historic buildings were published, sparking
negative reactions from city residents.
