One of the oldest, if not the oldest, madrassah in Central Asia, it was constructed by Ulugbek in 1417. This madrassah, though currently unrestored and in much need of work, became the model for later madrassah's constructed throughout the region (including two other madrassahs built by Ulugbek in Gijduvan and Samarkand). The Madrassah is currently empty, with a few rooms functioning as a museum, showing old photos of the building, along with some historic photos of Bukhara.
