Massive Statue of Somoni
Dushanbe, Tajikistan Phone: Not available Not availableAbout
The Statue of Somoni was founded on September 9th, 1999 and is an attraction worth seeing. Tajik considers Somoni the father of modern Tajikistan. The statue is about 11 meters high. They say that the crown is made almost of pure gold and weighs about 10 kilos. This monument was built in honour of Ismail Somoni, who was a Tajik idol who even had currency named after him. The monument looks great and the huge golden ark above the statue of Somoni looks impressive.
