Ulugh Begh Medresa
1417-1421

The oldest madrasa on the north side of the Registran and a khanaqah both of which Ulugh Beg, Timur's grandson and Governor of Samarkand, built facing each other across the square, were part of a large urban project incorporating several mosques, caravanserais and a bazaar. Of this project only the monumental madrasa survives. Oon the site of the khanaqah now stands the 17th-century Shir Dor Madrasa.
During Soviet times and my vists the medresa was for 25 years in reconstruction, and I have no photos better than this one .
