The climatic conditions and geographical location of Fergana, one of the most important basins of Turkestan, have brought the region to the forefront throughout history. The region has been a place where not only foreign powers but also Turkish tribes constantly raided. The Khanate of Kokand, which ruled in Fergana between 1709 and 1876, maintained its political power in the region for a long time and also contributed to the development of the city of Kokand with its construction activities. The city, which showed great development in a short time, became the capital of the khanate. Different building types such as mosques, madrasahs, tombs, bridges, baths, castles and palaces were built in Kokand. The city of Kokand became the center of science, culture and art of its time.
