The square was laid out in 1882 by order of the Governor-General of Turkestan M. G. Chernyaev. In its center there is a monument to Amir Temur (Tamerlane), an outstanding statesman of the XIV century, who created a huge empire. Until 2009 there was a small park around the monument, but after reconstruction it has become a square with fountains and green lawns. There are several interesting sights concentrated in this place.
