Kukeldash Madrasah

The Kukeldash Madrasah is a 16th-century Islamic school located in the old city of Tashkent. Visitors go here to see the traditional architecture of the Timurid era and to understand the historical role of religious education in Central Asia. The structure features a large central courtyard surrounded by small cells where students once lived.

Getting There

The site is located in the historic center of Tashkent. From the central administrative areas, it is most accessible via a short taxi ride in a registered taxi or by using the metro to the nearest station and walking. The journey typically takes 10 to 20 minutes depending on traffic.

Visit Duration

Allow approximately 45 to 90 minutes to walk through the courtyard and observe the exterior facade and interior details.
