Abstract: Uzbekistan, located at the crossroads of ancient trade routes in Central
Asia, possesses a diverse and multilayered cultural heritage shaped by centuries of
historical development. This article examines the nation’s historical significance,
emphasizing its prominent role along the Silk Road and analyzing its architectural
masterpieces, including Samarkand’s Registan Square and the Historic Centre of
Bukhara. It further explores Uzbekistan’s vibrant intangible cultural expressions—
traditional craftsmanship, music, dance, oral storytelling, and cuisine—all of which
continue to influence national identity. Additionally, the article considers modern
initiatives dedicated to heritage preservation, such as restoration projects, educational
programs, and sustainable tourism strategies. Ultimately, Uzbekistan’s commitment to
safeguarding its cultural legacy ensures that its historical narrative remains relevant
and appreciated worldwide.
