Another magical place. A masterpiece of Turkisthan's Turkic art and culture.
It is the youngest monument in the monumental ensemble of Registan, which is formed by the Ulug Begue and Sher-Dor and Tilyakori madrasas.It was built between 1646 and 1660, ten years after the construction of the Sher-Dor Madrasa. The madrasa was not only used for the education of students but was also one of the most important mosques for a long time.

Tillya-Kori Madrasah is one of the most striking and unique sights of Samarkand, located on Registan Square. Built in the 17th century, it attracts attention with its magnificent decoration, especially the golden elements that adorn its interior and exterior. Translating the name of the madrasah as "Golden Madrasah", the architects chose golden patterns and mosaics as the main feature of this building. These elements create an atmosphere of magic, especially at sunset, when the madrasah literally shines.
The interior of the madrasah is decorated with the most complex ornaments made using gold color, which makes this place not only an architectural masterpiece, but also a real work of art. Mosaics, calligraphy, gold tiles and amazing patterns on the walls — all this creates an atmosphere of oriental luxury and well-being, immersing visitors in the atmosphere of antiquity and grandeur.

Tillya-Kori Madrasah, built in the 17th century, two centuries later than Ulugbek madrasah, harmoniously completes the architectural ensemble of three beautiful madrasahs on Registan Square.
Tillya Kori are turquoise domes sparkling in the sun. This is an abundance of gold in the interior of the central mosque. These are incredibly complex ornaments on the walls and domes.
The madrasa houses a museum that clearly demonstrates the achievements of Soviet and Uzbek restorers, as well as an exhibition and sale of products by real craftsmen of Samarkand.
