| Ulugbek
Madrassah
Ulugbek Madrassah
was found in 1417, as the
inscription on the bronze plate of
door runs says. There is a name of
master in the portal tympanum, which
was building this monument – Ismail
ibn Takhir ibn Makhmud Ispfargoni.
It is possible he was a grandson of
one of the masters, who had been
captured by Timur in Iran and left
their names on the portal of
Gur-Amir complex in Samarkand.
Bukhara Madrassah is the first
Madrassah, built by Ulugbek. It is
comparatively small, but has great
forms. This is a building with
two-ayvan square yard, surrounded by
two-storey hudjrs, with darskhana
cupola halls and mosque on the cross
of entrance hall.
