Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan
Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Tashkent
The building of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan is located in the center of Tashkent, on Mustaqillik Square - one of the city's main squares. It is part of the official architectural ensemble of this part of the capital, next to government buildings, alleys, and public spaces. For tourists, it is primarily a prominent landmark in an area that is often included in walking routes around central Tashkent.
The building was constructed in the mid-2000s as an administrative facility of national importance. Its appearance combines features of modern official architecture and neoclassical elements: a symmetrical composition, strict forms, a colonnade, and light stone cladding. The facades are faced with white marble, while the lower level is highlighted with red granite.
Historically, the building is associated with the Senate of the Oliy Majlis - the upper chamber of Uzbekistan's parliament, which existed until the constitutional changes of 2023. For this reason, the site is of interest not only as part of the urban landscape, but also as a place connected with the country's recent political history.
Visits to the building are usually limited to viewing it from the outside; however, for travelers it is interesting as part of Tashkent's ceremonial center. It is convenient to view during a walk around Mustaqillik Square, where you can simultaneously see the monumental architecture characteristic of the capital and well-maintained urban spaces.

The main things that attract attention during a visit are the strict symmetry of the facade, the light cladding, and the distinctly official character of the architecture. The building is designed not for decorative expressiveness, but for representativeness, so it is best perceived as part of the overall ensemble of the square, where more complete views of the facade and the surrounding development open up.
Tourists usually view the site from the outside during a walking tour of the city's central part. The interior spaces generally are not open for free visits, so the main interest lies in the building's exterior appearance, its scale, finishing materials, and its location within the system of urban axes and squares.
Nearby are Mustaqillik Square, the Ezgulik Memorial and Arch, as well as green alleys and fountains, which make this area convenient for a leisurely walk. From here it is also relatively close to other central sights of Tashkent connected with state and urban history.
It is convenient to get here by metro and surface transport to the Mustaqillik Square area, and then walk for a few minutes. When planning a walk, it is worth keeping in mind that access restrictions may apply in certain sections of the government quarter.
