Narbutabey Madrasa

Norbutabiy madrasasi

The largest surviving madrasa in Kokand, still operating as a school during the Soviet period, located beside the mausoleum complex of the Khan family.

Built in 1799 by Narbuta Bey, a ruler of Kokand, the madrasa has a tall gateway, a simple dome and student cells around the courtyard, with finely carved wooden doors. It rarely maintained its religious educational function during the Soviet era and still has students today. Visitors should dress modestly and keep quiet. Behind it lie the Dahmai Shohon and Modari Khan mausoleums, which can be visited together in about an hour.
