    Statue of Ismail Samani

    Dushanbe's most visible monument to nation-building is the rather kitsch Statue of Ismail Samani, the 10th-century Samanid ruler, occupying prime place on Maydani Azadi (Freedom Square). The monument replaced a much smaller statue of Lenin, which now stands in the Bagh-i-Markazi (Central Park).
