Sitting near the Chorsu Bazaar, the Medressah Kukeldosh is adjacent to the main friday mosque of Tashkent. The Medressah was reconstructed in the 1990's, after having been destroyed by the Soviets. Originally built in the 1500's by the Tashkent khans' vizir, who was nicknamed Kukeldosh (means "The khan's foster brother"). The Medressah is one of the largest in Uzbekistan and still functions as a school.
