About the place
This madrasa, also called Bozori Alaf (the hay market madrasa), was paid for in the 19th century by Hasan Akhund, known as Domulla Hasan (1779–1857), a mufti who taught at the Kukeldash Madrasa and rose to head it. After his death his son Abdulhaq ran the school until teaching stopped under Soviet rule.
The two-storey building stands on Mehtar Anbar Street in the Kukeldash mahalla, a few minutes from Lyabi Hauz. It was restored around 2011 and now houses tourist services.
