Khujand is one of the oldest cities in Central Asia! Some sources even believe it was founded as far back as the 7th-6th centuries BC. It was conquered by none other than Alexander the Great himself! He rebuilt and strengthened it, calling it Alexandria Eskhata (Extreme). The Khujand Fortress was founded in the VI—V centuries BC.
