The tallest structure in Uzbekistan, a 375 m steel tower begun in 1978 that went on air on 15 January 1985. It was the world's fourth-tallest tower until 1991, remains the second-tallest structure in Central Asia, and belongs to the World Federation of Great Towers. It stands on three great slanting legs that give it its distinctive silhouette. The observation deck sits at 97 m, reached by a fast lift in about 20 seconds, with views over the city's parks and broad avenues. Above the deck is a revolving restaurant, and large mosaics decorate the tower's interior. Lakes and gardens surround its base, and it looks best at sunset and lit up at night. Buying an observation-deck ticket requires your passport; prices reported by visitors range from about 40,000 to 100,000 som, per visitor guides, and the deck stays open until about 9 pm.
