Gaukushon Madrasa
A 1560s madrasa of the Khoja Gaukushon ensemble in central Bukhara, set on an irregular plot beside a mosque, pool and small minaret.
A 16th-century madrasa, mosque and minaret on a quiet square south of the trading domes, named after the cattle market that once stood here.
Gaukushon roughly means "where bulls are slaughtered", and the square was once used for that purpose. In the second half of the 16th century the site was rebuilt with a large madrasa, a Friday mosque and a slim brick minaret, paid for by the influential Juybari sheikhs.
It is less visited than the main sights, which is the reason to come. The square has a pool and benches, and the madrasa courtyard is sometimes open to visitors. It is only a few minutes from Lyabi-Hauz.
