Osh: Kurmanjan-Datka Street - Sulaiman Too
The landscape around Osh is a broad valley interrupted by the rocky Sulaiman-Too ridge, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. The ridge rises from the city itself and is the foremost landmark of this southern Kyrgyz centre, at the eastern edge of the Fergana Valley. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2009, Sulaiman-Too is a sacred mountain with caves, petroglyphs and places of worship that record a long tradition of pilgrimage. Kurmanjan-Datka Street is named for Kurmanjan Datka, the 19th-century Kyrgyz leader remembered as the “Queen of the South”. Together, the street and mountain bring modern Osh into direct contact with one of Central Asia’s enduring sacred sites.
