Juybori Kalon Madrasa

Located in Bukhara, this 17th-century theological school was commissioned by Abdulaziz Khan and funded by his mother. Visitors go here to study classic Islamic architecture and the layout of a traditional madrasa. The structure is characterized by its large courtyard and symmetrical rows of student cells.

Getting There

The madrasa is situated within the historic center of Bukhara. From the central city area, it is accessible via a short walk or a quick taxi ride, typically taking less than 10 minutes depending on your starting point.

Duration of Visit

Allow approximately 45 to 90 minutes to walk through the courtyard and observe the architectural details of the building.
