Built in the XVI century on behalf of the ruler of the Bukhara Khanate Abdullah Khan II (1557-1598).

Madari Khan Madrasah. The construction of Madari Khan Madrasah (built on behalf of the mother of the Khan) was completed in 1566-1567. The madrasah was badly damaged after a series of earthquakes and was restored in 1998.

Abdullah Khan Madrasah. The construction of the Abdullah Khan Madrasah began in 1587-1588, completed in 1589-1590. Over the years, large-scale restoration work was carried out at the madrasah, focusing mainly on the main facade of the building.
