The Dushanbe Flagpole, rising 165 meters in the city's central park, held the title of the world's tallest flagpole from 2011 to 2014. This towering structure flies the Tajik national flag and serves as a striking focal point of the city's skyline. Visitors can walk around its base, admire the engineering, and enjoy the surrounding park with fountains and pathways. It's a popular spot for photos, especially at sunset when the flag is backlit against the sky.
