Koshoy Korgon
The once towering walls of a grand citadel of the Karakhanid Empire, all that remains of Koshoy Korgon are crumbling earthen walls.
About this place:
The ruined citadel of Koshoy Korgon, is located just outside of the village of Kara-Suu. Not much is known about this fortress (at least according to my guidebooks, anyway) but it dates from roughly the 10th century, and was probably Karakhanid. All that remains of this once grand citadel are crumbling earth walls, which are both desolate and majestic.
