The opening ceremony of the Burhonuddin Marginoni Complex, a new scientific, educational, and tourist facility, was held in the city of Margilan in the Fergana region on April 27 with the participation of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev.
The President emphasized that the complex will play an important role not only in the life of Margilan but also across the entire Fergana Valley.
In recent years, large tourist complexes have been built across Uzbekistan using traditional architectural solutions that blend historical and modern traditions. In Samarkand, the Silk Road Samarkand and Imam Bukhari Complex were opened, while in Khorezm, the international tourist center Arda Khiva was established. A major step in this direction was the opening of the Center of Islamic Civilization in Tashkent.
The development of tourism infrastructure is showing results. In the first quarter of the current year, about 3 million tourists visited Uzbekistan, and revenues from tourism exceeded $1.1 billion.
The Burhonuddin Marginoni Complex spans 35 hectares and includes the Institute of Islamic Jurisprudence, a maqom theater, an open-air amphitheater, a local history museum, an alley of writers and artists, a craftsmen’s center, hotels, and service facilities.
The complex will contribute to the study and promotion of Burhanuddin Marginoni’s rich scientific heritage, the preservation of the region’s ancient craft traditions, and the development of pilgrimage tourism.
The President expressed confidence that this majestic structure will hold a worthy place among the unique landmarks of New Uzbekistan and become one of the Fergana region’s hallmarks.
“There is profound historical and personal meaning in the fact that we built this complex in Margilan. This blessed city has nurtured many figures of science and enlightenment,” the President said.
