The territory of Serakhs and Old Serakhs, as well as other historical and architectural monuments located on the territory, is part of the historical and cultural reserve. Serakhs is one of the oldest cities in Central Asia. It arose in the Chalcolithic era (IV millennium BC). It reached its greatest prosperity during the reign of the Seljuk dynasty, as it was one of the centers of trade in Central Asia.
