Barakhan Madrasah, 16th-century Islamic educational complex in Olmazar, Uzbekistan
The Barakhan Madrasah features three domes, colorful mosaics, and painted ornaments with verses from poets inscribed on tiles at the base of the structure.
Constructed in 1532 by decree of Navruz Ahmadkhan, the madrasah became part of the Khast-Imam complex alongside mausoleums for Ahmadkhan and Suyunj Khan.
The madrasah contains workshops where local artisans produce traditional crafts including handkerchiefs, national souvenirs, and painted plates for visitors.
The building functions as the location for the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Central Asia and maintains a collection of oriental manuscripts.
The madrasah houses the Quran of Osman, a 7th-century manuscript that traveled through Medina, Damascus, and Baghdad before reaching Uzbekistan during Timur's era.
