Barak-chan madrasah

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The madrasah Barak Chan ( Uzbek Baroqxon madrasasi ) in Tashkent was composed in the 15th and 16th centuries from buildings that were built at different times. First the mausoleum was built, which is now in the eastern part of the complex. The second part is the Hanaka mausoleum with two domes. It was built in 1530 for the ruler of Tashkent Sujundsch Han Scheibani . In the middle of the 16th century the complex was rebuilt into today's madrasah . At that time the building was named after the ruler Navrus Akhmed, nicknamed Barak Chan. The artistic design of the portal is not characteristic of Tashkent. The arch resembles a colab-cory niche. The tympanum and pillars are decorated with carved bricks and various mosaics. The master who restored Colab-Cory between 1955 and 1963 was called Usta Schirin Muradov. The second part is called Hanaka Mausoleum and has two domes. It was built in 1530 for the ruler of Tashkent Sujundsch Han Scheibani.
