Kukeldash Madrasah inner courtyard

Tashkent

Kukeldash Madrasah is the largest madrasah of Tashkent and next to Chorsu Bazaar. In the IX and X centuries there were Kesh gates here, one of the three city gates.

Tashkent's principal Friday Mosque was built in the 1990's on the site of a 16th century mosque destroyed by the Soviets.

It was built in the XVI century (1570) during the reign of the Shaybanid dynasty by the vizier close to Tashkent sultans Barak-Khan and Darwish Khan. The Vizier was nicknamed "kukeltash" (‘Kukeldash’), which means "foster-brother of Khan”.
