Medrese Nadir Devonbegi, 17th-century Islamic madrasa in Bukhara, Uzbekistan.

The madrasa features 71 rooms arranged around a central courtyard with two stories of small chambers for students and teachers.

Originally constructed as a caravanserai between 1622 and 1623, the structure was converted into a madrasa by order of Imam Quli Khan.

The building incorporates unusual decorative elements for Islamic architecture, including tile mosaics depicting birds and other creatures on its facade.

The madrasa now houses traditional craft workshops and presents regular performances of Uzbek music and folklore for visitors.

The structure deviates from typical madrasa design by omitting the standard large classroom and traditional entrance porch configuration.
