KUKELDACH MADRASAH
This is the most important medersa - or madrassa - of the twenty-three in Tashkent's old town. Built in the second half of the 16th century, during the reign of Abdullah Khan II (1557-1598), Chaybanid sultan (Turko-Mongol dynasty). Disused in the 18th century as a caravanserai, fortress and prison, it now welcomes students once again. It's well worth passing under its entrance gate (a 20 m-high pishtak) to admire its pretty courtyard lined with 60 cells on two levels. Right next door is the large Friday mosque.
