About the place
Khoja Abdulazizboy, a wealthy and learned man of Qarshi, had this madrasa built in 1909, when the town was part of the Bukhara emirate. Students came here from several towns of the emirate in the early 20th century.
The building has two floors of student cells around a courtyard and a tall entrance arch flanked by small tiled domes; the inside is plain. From 1975 to 2007 it housed the regional museum of local history. It stands in the Odina garden in Qarshi's old town.
Why go
- A rare dated madrasa from the last years of the Bukhara emirate
- Tall entrance arch with small tiled domes on each side
