Chor Bakr Madrasah is an architectural monument in Bukhara.[1]
Background[edit]
This madrasa is located in the Chor Bakr architectural complex and was built in the 16th century by Abdullah Khan II, a representative of the Shaybani dynasty. The house is included in the national list of immovable property objects of material and cultural heritage of Uzbekistan.[2] The madrasa was built by Abdullah Khan II in the 16th century, and construction work was carried out in the Chor Bakr complex. The madrasah is multi-roomed and has a prayer area outside. Chor Bakr madrasa was considered one of the highest class madrasas in Bukhara. The roof of the madrasa was 3 stories high and there were cells on all three stories. The madrasa hall is divided into three arches.[3] Historian Hafiz Tanish Bukhari gave information about the madrasa in his work "Abdullah Khan" and wrote that a verse from the sura was quoted on the front of the madrasa. But these inscriptions have not been preserved today. Madrasah was renovated in 1950, 1971, 1999.[1] During the renovation in 1999, masters restored the madrasah towards its original foundation. The madrasah is built of bricks. In the work "Abdullanoma" it is written about Madrasa: "In his madrassa, one of the famous scholars and virtues was a teacher, taught necessary and religious sciences and contributed a lot to endowments. In that place, the students were paid with a good salary, and they were always start reading with peace of mind." The foundation and walls of the madrasa are covered with stones. The archi-duzi method was mainly used in the construction of the cells. In order to create a comfortable environment for the students studying in the madrasa, a stove, a sandal place and shelves for books have been built. Rooms on the second floor are accessed by stairs. The madrasa was built in the style of Central Asia.[4]
