Ulugh beg Madrassah, 15th century Islamic school in Bukhara, Uzbekistan
The rectangular madrasah features a large portal entrance, open courtyard, and corridors leading to a mosque and classroom areas for students.
Commissioned by Tamerlane's grandson Ulughbek in 1417, the madrasah was constructed by architects Ismail Isfagani and Najmeddin Bukhari for educational purposes.
The madrasah incorporated astronomical motifs in its decorative elements, reflecting Ulughbek's dedication to mathematical and celestial studies at the time.
Now functioning as the Bukhara Restoration History Museum, the building contains exhibits detailing the architectural development of local monuments.
Two inscriptions on the entrance gate promote education, including one stating that knowledge pursuit is essential for every Muslim person.
