This yellow-brick madrasah was built in 1570 by the vizier, scientist and poet Kulbobo Kukeldash - Kukeldash means "the Khan's foster brother'. It's been a caravanserai, fort and museum but since the 1990s is again a madrasah. It's ranged around a large courtyard with hujras (pupils' cells) and darshakona and mosque in the corners.

Still putting on trad shows in a 1976 futuristic building.

Lively theatre.

This madrassa was erected in 1850 in honour of the scholar Abdulkhasim Khan. It's now a crafts outlet.

Extensive display of equipment, much of it in working order, with signage in English, Russian and Uzbek.

Huge mosque rebuilt in the 1990s. In the garden behind is the mausoleum of Sheikh Zayniddin, a Sufi holy man. He lived in the 12th-13th centuries but the mausoleum is 16th century, rebuilt in the 19th.
