Kitob

Central Asia

Kitob, written Китаб in Russian, is a city in Qashqadaryo Region of Uzbekistan, and the administrative center of Kitob District. Its population is given as 40,800 in 2016. It received town status in 1976. During the Soviet period a major astronomical observatory was built at Kitab to commemorate its medieval reputation as the town of astronomers. The Qashqadaryo Region is one of the regions into which Uzbekistan is divided. Uzbekistan is a doubly landlocked country in Central Asia, so Kitob has no coast.
