Published on by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment

Kosmonavtlar (“Cosmonauts”) is a space-programme-themed station of the Tashkent Metro. It honors Soviet cosmonauts such as Yuri Gagarin and Valentina Tereshkova, the first man and woman in space.
The station was opened on 8 December 1984.

*Until 2018 it was illegal to photograph the Tashkent metro, because it also worked as a nuclear bomb shelter.
