Sherdor Madrasah is one of the greatest buildings in Samarkand, which completes the ensemble of Registan Square. Built in the XVII century, it is famous for its unique architecture and magnificent mosaics with images of tigers. Located in the very center of the city, the madrasah is not only a historical monument, but also an important cultural site that attracts tourists from all over the world.
Sherdor, with its tall towers and magnificent facade, is an example of the skill of oriental architects and artisans. The courtyard of the madrasah, surrounded by arches and carved stone ornaments, immerses in the atmosphere of antiquity and scholarship. Here you can see not only architectural elements, but also symbols reflecting the spiritual and cultural values of that time.

Second (average) according to the age of the madrasah on Registan Square. Unfortunately, the khanaka, which was built by Ulugbek, was dismantled for its construction. Perhaps because of the dilapidation, but then no one thought about restoration. It was built in the "Kosh" reception, i.e. the portal is strictly symmetrical to the Ulugbek madrasah. Ulugbek madrasah was inferior in prestige, despite its large size, no more than 40 people studied. Teaching was discontinued in the 1920s on the instructions of the Soviet government.
