Madrasah Alla Kuli Khan
The Madrasah Alla Kuli Khan is a madrassah in Ichan Qal'а , the historic city of Khiva . It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage .
Building
The Alla Kuli Khan madrasah is at Palwan-Darwaza , the east gate of the old town of Chiwas. The first madrasah , the madrasah Khodjambery Bei , was built at this site in 1688. 150 years later, the Khan of the Khiva Alla Kuli Khanate chose the location for his new, larger madrasah. Due to the structural constraints in this area, it became necessary to demolish part of Ichan Qalsa's city wall and the main wall of the old Khodjambery Bei madrasah. Parts of the old madrasah became the foundation of the new madrasah Alla Kuli Khan, while the remnants became the madrasah Churdshum.
For a rich income , the new madrasah Alla Kuli Khan was awarded about 9,000 hectares of irrigated land as a waqf , the merchant passage Tim immediately to the north and the Alla Kuli Khan caravanserai . The mosque is located in the southern part of the portal decorated with blue ceramic tiles . The lecture halls are in the northern part . Above the portal are Khujas for a library donated by Khan Alla Kuli . This was open to the students of all madrasas in the city.
