Uzbekistan Madrasah

One of the most famous madrasah of the Islamic world Madrasah Mir-i-Arab is located on the Kalyan forum square in Bukhara and represents a part of its architectural ensemble.

The composition of the center of the old part of Bukhara is a madrasah built by Vizier Nodir Devon Begi. In fact, the idea was to build a caravanserai, which would be conveniently located in the bustling bazaar square.

The history of mankind didn’t know any Governor that wanted to keep the memory of his name through the centuries. Abdulaziz-Khan, the descendant of the Ashtarkhanids dynasty wasn’t an exception.

This madrasah is one of the major attractions of Gijduvan city, which is 40 kilometres from Bukhara, as well as one of the three that were built by the illustrious grandson of Amir Temur.

Kosh means ‘double’ and is a general architectural term that can refer to any two opposing or facing halves of an ensemble.
