Description
The Memorial of Samarkand's Tigers is a unique sculpture in Amir Temur Park commemorating the extinct Caspian tiger. Two majestic tiger figures in the northeast corner of the park symbolize the strength, resilience, and rich cultural heritage of the region.
The sculpture references motifs from the nearby Sher-Dor Madrasah, where tigers with human faces adorn the facade, breaking the Islamic taboo against depicting animals. Surrounded by greenery, fountains, and educational panels about the history of the extinct species, it is a perfect place for photos and a peaceful stroll.
