Built in the 16th century under orders of Abdul Aziz Khan, this madrassah was constructed in order to 'outdo' the neighboring Ulugbek Madrassah. Many of the rooms in the madrassah have been converted into souvenier shops, and the prayer room itself is now a museum of wood carvings, however the mosque is well worth a visit. One of the interesting highlights is in the prayer room, where Abdul Aziz covertly had his face embedded within the Mecca-facing prayer niche, in order to get around Sunni Islam's prohibition against depicting living beings in religious art.
