MOHAMMED AMIN KHAN MADRASAH

Built in 1851, under the reign of the Khan Amin, it was one of the largest madrasahs in Central Asia, with a square courtyard of 38 m side for a building measuring a total of 72 m out of 60. A construction in the image of the khan, the most illustrious leader of Uzs: he conquered Merv and imposed his law on the Belliqueux Belliqueux before dying mourir during a battle on the Iranian border, leaving Uzs to the nomadic attacks for the following decades. The impressive building maintained that, to put it in place, a part of fortification walls was destroyed. The one hundred and twenty-five cells spread over two levels received two hundred and sixty students until 1924. The tympans of the high portal and the two floors of cells in the facade are decorated with blue majolica motifs. The construction of madrasas offered Soviet historians an illustration of the struggle of classes under litigants. After two years of exhausting work, the workers who, of course, did not receive any money, would révoltèrent: most of them were peasants, they could no longer take care of their fields and the famine hazardous. The revolt was suppressed with khivienne: Matiakoub, the leader of the rebellion, was wrapped in a moist and buried beast living under the foundations of the minaret. The recent history of madrasas is not necessarily more cheerful, since the Soviets made a prison in the 1930 s and 1940 s. Today the madrasas has become the Hotel Uzs and can accommodate a hundred tourists.
