KOSH MADRASAH, THE FRATERNAL TWINS..

The two madrasahs Supercritical-i-Khan and Abdullah Khan are located southwest of the Bolo-Khaouz mosque. The smallest of the two, the madrasas Supercritical-i-Khan, dedicated to Abdullah Khan's mother, was built in 1566 at the beginning of the emir's reign. It is a madrasas in classical architecture, with a level of cells where students lived as well as a mosque and a courtroom, or darskhana, giving on an inner courtyard. Today there are the same craftsmen and souvenir shops as in other Madrasahs madrasahs. Madrasas Abdullah Khan dates back to 1588. Also built by Abdullah Khan, but at the pinnacle of his glory, his appearance releases more power than his modest neighbour. Madrasas presents a traditional pattern, a large courtyard surrounded by cells, but architects have complicated the structure by increasing the number of cells at the corners of the buildings thanks to surmontés-surmounted classrooms. The "lantern of Abdullah", located in the north wing, is an example of these architectural discoveries. This octahedral room is surrounded by two-storey high-floor galleries. The. entrance can be closed, but it is possible to enter it by the left side. Unless the conservators have taken away, you will be able to enjoy this veritable labyrinth in freedom and discover the star decorations of the inner domes of the mosque and the darskhana, or the students'graffiti at the beginning of the century.
