Our city tour started from the map of the old city near the madrasah. We sat in the courtyard. The guide said that it was the largest madrasah in Central Asia, but not in size (there are more), but in terms of the number of students - up to 260 people.
An ancient madrasah built in 1851-54. The Hujras come out. In Soviet times, the madrasah was closed and used as a prison. The huge stones underfoot are very similar to the stones that we see on Registan Square near the Ulugbek madrasah, for example. These stones were brought from abandoned ancient fortresses, 100 kilometers or more from Ichan-kala.
