Entrance is paid, 25 thousand soums for foreigners. If there is a permanent registration, then 5 thousand. Inside there is a green courtyard, a large ivan with various wooden columns, a beautiful minaret and there are rooms where national crafts are presented.
We were at the end of October, out of season and only the room with fabrics was open. A shop and several looms.
The rest were closed. I couldn't see it.
It may be worth clarifying at the entrance what works and is open so as not to waste money.
There is a very beautiful colonnade with a painted ceiling around the minaret. Plus, it is interesting that right there, along with a small museum, there is a craft center where you can see how knives are made, fabric is woven or wood is cut (not only to look at the process and ask the craftsmen, but also, if desired, buy something as a keepsake). We bought halva according to the Kokand recipe. Closer to the entrance there is a gallery with a shop and a cafe, the owner of which is an enthusiastic young guy who knows the history of his city perfectly and collects handmade items (ceramics, leather goods) for sale, created based on national motives, and listened with great pleasure to his stories about his native land and local culture.
One of Kokand's business cards . A small mosque with a minaret. A lot of wooden columns supporting beautiful hand-painted ceilings. A couple of shops: pottery and products from the national atlas, clothes and accessories.
As everywhere else in Uzbekistan, they are trying to rip off loot, as usual, at least 5 times more from foreigners than from locals. It is enough to look over the fence and not pay these levies, another minaret, another madrasah, of which there are hundreds all over the country.
The historical mosque where Khudayar Khan came to perform Friday prayers. Now there is a complex of folk handicrafts located here. Touch the history of the East of Medieval Kokand. Here you can buy or order great souvenirs from artisans
