Information -
The city of Zhalagashtobe (Monshakty Asar) is considered more a fortress than a settlement or a city, It is located in the Syrdarya River valley. During excavations, the remains of ancient stucco ceramics and animal bones were found here. The fortress, apparently, is very ancient, only a hill remains of it, it is probably necessary to carry out restoration work to preserve the object. The material from which the structure was built is clay brick. This material quickly collapses when exposed to water, wind and cold.
