DAY 2: Fergana—Margilan—Tashkent by train
The second day of Fergana valley tour by train starts with the sightseeing in Fergana
Visit Akhmad Al-Fergani Park.
Al-Fergani, also known as Ahmad al-Fergani (Latin: Alfraganus), was a celebrated medieval astronomer, mathematician, and scholar born in the Fergana Valley. In commemoration of his 1,200th anniversary, the city unveiled a monument honoring his contributions to science and culture.
Ahmad al-Farghani—better known in the West as Alfraganus—was a 9th-century astronomer from Fergana (now in Uzbekistan) who made substantial contributions to medieval astronomy. He authored the influential “Elements of Astronomy” (Kitāb fī Jawāmiʿ ʿIlm al-Nujūm), a clear and accessible summary of Ptolemy’s Almagest that improved on earlier data for the Earth’s circumference, axial tilt, and planetary distances. His works became foundational texts in Europe from the 12th to the 17th centuries and were translated into Latin and Hebrew, influencing scholars such as Dante and even navigators like Christopher Columbus—though Columbus misinterpreted Alfraganus’s Arabic miles as Roman miles. Beyond writing, Alfraganus also engaged in astronomical instrument design—penning one of the oldest surviving theoretical treatises on the astrolabe—and supervised engineering marvels such as the Nilometer in Cairo, which monitored the Nile’s water levels.
