Kukeldash Madrasah, 16th-century Islamic school in Shaykhontohur, Uzbekistan.
The Kukeldash Madrasah features a massive entrance portal reaching 20 meters in height with two flanking towers and traditional yellow brick construction.
Built in 1569 by Dervish Sultan, a Shaybanid ruler, the madrasah later served as a caravanserai, fortress, and museum before returning to its educational purpose.
The madrasah represents Central Asian architectural traditions with its square layout, inner courtyard, and educational spaces arranged around a central courtyard.
Located near Chorsu Bazaar and metro station in Tashkent, the madrasah remains active as an educational institution while welcoming visitors to explore its grounds.
The structure survived multiple earthquakes, including the 1966 Tashkent disaster, and maintains its original architectural elements from the 16th century.
