Abdullaziz-Khan Madrassah
Opposite Ulugbek
Madrassah there is Abdullaziz-khan
Madrassah. Abdullaziz-khan built it
in 1651 – 1652 and it is the last
large Madrassah in Bukhara. The
building is typical by composition,
with four-ayvans yard, but with
unordinary divergent fan of hudj
groups after side ayvans and cupola
buildings on the central axis.

It is very
interesting the improvent of
living lodgings, which consisted
of entrance hall and hudjra, and
were equipped with free-places,
attic storeys, wall niches for
bed clothes, dishes, decorated
in conformity with the taste of
inhabitants, who rented these
apartments during their
study.Away from Poi-Kalyan
ensemble we can see trade
arcades, belonging to the end of
16 century Taki-Telpak Phurushon
and Taki Sarraphon. Head-dresses
were sold in Taki-Telpak
Phurushon : skull-caps
embroidered with beads, brocade
and silk, fur-fox hats, turbans.
Currency transactions were
accomplished under Taki
Sarraphon dome, shroffs mediates
in international trade affairs.
The cupolas are inimitable in
their architecture and
constructions. The most
expressive of them is Taki
Sarraphon with cruciform passage
through central hall and
apartments behind its beveled
corners: in one room there was
mosque, in another – the
entrance into old Saraphon
baths, in other two ones –
usurer stores. Constructive
basis is four massive crossing
archs, you can see inside and
outside. |
