  10. Since 1991, the city has changed economically, culturally, and architecturally. The largest statue ever erected for Lenin was replaced with a globe, complete with a geographic map of Uzbekistan over it. Buildings from the Soviet era have been replaced with new, modern buildings. One example is the "Downtown Tashkent" district which includes the 22-story NBU Bank building, the Intercontinental Hotel, the International Business Center, and the Plaza Building.

  11. In 2007, Tashkent was named the cultural capital of the Islamic world as the city is home to numerous historic mosques and Islamic locations of interest. Tashkent also houses the earliest written Qur'anwhich has been in Tashkent since 1924. In written sources, the name of the city was first reported in the beginning of the 11th century. According to Abu RayhanBeruni, the word was originated from Turkic "Tash"(“Stone”) and "Kent"(“City”). Thus, Tashkent means "Stone City". However, one assumes that the first component of this name is more ancient and dates back to "Chach," which was later transformed in “Tash” by Arabs, as there was no letter “H” in their language and script, and by Turks, because of the consonance of individual characters in Turk language.
