Abdulaziz Khan Madrasah

Bukhara, Uzbekistan · built 1652

The Abdulaziz-Khan Madrasah is an ancient madrasa in Bukhara, Uzbekistan. Like the entire historic part of the city, it is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. It owes its name to its founder, Abdulaziz Khan (1614-1683) who had it built in 1652-1654. It is part of an architectural ensemble, forming a koch (double) with the Ulugbek Madrasah (1417), located to the east of the jewelers' bazaar. Its exterior decoration is partly unfinished, because the Khan was dethroned while the decoration of the madrasa was not yet finished and the architect put an end to the project.
