Ulugh-Beg madrasah in Gijduvan, Educational temple in Gijduvan District, Uzbekistan
The rectangular structure of Ulugh-Beg madrasah contains 20 rooms arranged around a central courtyard with a deep-set entrance portal and brick walls.
Built in 1432 under the supervision of Ulugh Beg, this madrasah served as the third educational institution established by the Timurid ruler and astronomer.
The madrasah combines educational spaces with religious functions, featuring a mosque, chambers, and classrooms that now house a branch of Bukhara Museum.
Located along the former Silk Road between Bukhara and Samarkand, the madrasah underwent restoration works in 1993 and 2003 to preserve its structure.
The educational institution stands next to the grave of Shaykh Abdul Khaliq Ghijduwani and includes a library that maintains its original purpose of knowledge dissemination.
