An integral part of the city’s history is the Odina Jome Mosque (also known as Nasaf Kata Jome), which represents an important subject of scientific research due to its historical and architectural features.

At that time, the mosque was situated in the center of the Qarshi fortress and functioned as the city’s main public religious building. At the same time, the concept of a “historic city” usually has two meanings: either legal or factual. The first refers to a city recognized by UNESCO, included in state documents and legislative acts, and listed among reserve cities 131 ACADEMIC RESEARCH IN MODERN SCIENCE International scientific-online conference possessing historical and cultural heritage. The second meaning refers to a settlement with historically and artistically confirmed characteristics. Later, the term “historic city” was introduced, encompassing monuments, architectural complexes, and urban buildings that represent historical, artistic, and urban planning value; natural landscapes; interesting examples of ancient urban planning; as well as archaeologically valuable cultural layers.
