Kukeldash Madrasah Highlights

Kukeldash Madrasah is from the 16th century in Tashkent which is situated near to Chorsu Bazaar. In the year 1570 of the 16th century, Kukeldash Madrasah was built by Shaybanids of the Turko-Mongol dynasty. The yellow bricks were used to build the madrasah with some traditional shapes and inner yards. The inner yards have small rooms in which students lived in the madrasah.

In 1868, the madrasah had undergone damage due to earthquake and after several years later in 1902-1903 it had to be reconstructed for the first time. In the 1950s, the second reconstruction of madrasah had to be done. Kukeldash Madrasah became the only religious building that withstood the disastrous earthquake in 1966 in Tashkent.

There is another madrasah in Tashkent known as Barak-Khan Madrasah. Among these two, the Kukeldash Madrasah has a completely different history and events in its favor.
