The Sokh Fortress (also the fortress of Kudayar Khan, or simply Khan fortress) is the ruins of a Kokandian fortification in the Batken Region of Kyrgyzstan. For several centuries the Khanate of Kokand ruled over all the people living in this territory.[1][2]
This fortress was built in the 17th century, during the heyday of the Kokand Khanate.
