Courtyard, Kukeldash Madrasah, Tashkent

The Kukeldash Madrasah is a medieval madrasah built around 1570 by the Shaybanid Dynasty of rulers. The madrasah was converted into a caravanserai in the 18th century, then it served as a fortress. In the 20th century it was a museum, first of atheism, and later of folk music. In the 1990s, the building was again made a madrasah (Islamic school).
