Chorsu Bazaar
bazaar in Tashkent, Uzbekistan
Chorsu Bazaar (Persian: بازار چارسو; Uzbek: Chorsu bozori), also called Charsu Bazaar, is the traditional bazaar located in the center of the old town of Tashkent, the capital city of Uzbekistan. Under its blue-colored domed building and the adjacent areas, all daily necessities are sold.
Overview
Chorsu Bazaar is located across the street from Chorsu Station of the Tashkent Metro, near Kukeldosh Madrasah. "Chorsu" is a word from the Persian, meaning "crossroads" or "four streams". Kukeldash Madrasah, built around 1570, is located at the edge of the bazaar. The modern building and the characteristic blue dome were designed by Vladimir Azimov, Sabir Adylov et al. in 1980, as a late example of Soviet Modernism style.
In July 2026, the Chorsu Bazaar, along with nine other modernist sites in Tashkent, was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Chorsu Bazaar” as bazaar in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as bazaar in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q13409233. Authority coordinates are 41.327, 69.235. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1570, 1980 and 2026.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
