Allakuli Khan Madrasa

Olloqulixon madrasasi

One of the largest madrasas in Ichan Kala, beside the east gate. Its tall facade is covered in blue and white glazed tiles, and it now houses craft showrooms and shops.

Allakuli Khan Madrasa was built between 1834 and 1835. It stands in Ichan Kala, north of Palvan Gate on the east side, and is one of the largest madrasas in the inner city. Its tall portal is decorated with blue, white and green glazed tiles and floral and geometric motifs, and it faces the Kutlug Murad Inaq Madrasa across the street. The cells inside now house a handicraft shop and a small exhibition. An Ichan Kala combined ticket is needed to enter some of the exhibition rooms. The best light for photographing the facade is early morning or evening.
