Khujand is considered the most ancient city in Tajikistan. Its history began in the 6th century.
Initially, it formed a village, but the village grew and developed, gradually turning into a small town. Khujand was constantly attacked. This was because the city was on the Silk Road's route, and the city was very popular among traders.
In the 7th century, Khujand was captured by the Arabs and then it attacked by the Mongols. The city could not resist the army of Genghis Khan and was destroyed almost to the ground.
The city gradually recovered and became a center of culture and science. Here we were born and lived our long lives, many scientists, writers, poets, astronomers. For instance, Abumahmud Khujandi is considered the founder of the local astronomical school.
The famous Mahasti went down in history as a great dancer and a talented poet. Also contributing to the development of cultural and scientific life are such great people as active educational work and such artists as Sodirhon Hafiz, Toshhodzha Asiri, Khoja Yusuf, and many others.
The city grew and developed. We began to see various businesses. Nowadays, the largest of them is the silk industrial complex. By 1991, the city had more than 40 hospitals, as well as more than 15 institutions and 30 schools.
From the sights that can be seen around the city, the perfectly preserved mosque-mausoleum of Sheikh Muslihiddin and the medieval citadel (17th–19th centuries).
In addition, visitors will be interested in the historical museum of archeology and fortification, which was opened in 1986 in honor of the 2,500-tletiya.
