One of the highlights of Khojand, the second city of Tajikistan, and capital of the northern Sughd, is the square between the "Thursday" market and the religious complex incorporating a mosque, mausoleum and minaret. Further north, the Syr Darya river (Jaxartes of ancient times) flows majestically through the city on its journey from the Tian Shan mountains to the Aral Sea. silkroadtraveller@virginmedia.com |
