Baraqkhan Madrasa

Baraqkhan Madrasa - a Madrasa built in Tashkent (1531/32 - 2nd half of 16th century). There are cells around the courtyard and a porch on the inside, and the western part of the madrasa is slightly forward. The foundation is made of stone, and the thick walls are made of bricks of various sizes. Some places are sharp.


At first, there were 2 mausoleums (big and small) on the place of the Baraqkhan Madrasah. In the small mausoleum there is the grave of Barak Khan. Three of the doors on its four sides were later closed (the remaining door was covered with stairs). The grave of the governor of Tashkent, Suyunchhoja, is located in the large mausoleum, which was converted into a mosque in 1904. Barak Khan built a madrasa containing two mausoleums. The huge porch on the east side of the madrasah is made of colorful glazed bricks. It is bordered with geometric and intricate patterns. The upper part of the roof is not preserved. At the back of the main gable there is another gable and a five-sided arch. The inner facade on the western side was a component of the blue dome. There were long rooms (old rooms) in the four corners of the Barakkhan Madrasah. The shape and decoration of the building remained unchanged. Its 22 m dome is covered with blue glazed bricks (the dome collapsed during the 1868 earthquake). The 4.5-meter long dome under the dome is made of various colored ceramic bricks with geometrical and intricate patterns, and the surahs of the Qur'an are written on it. The decorations inside the mausoleum were moved later. On the upper part of the inner wall, there are patterns made of ganch with gold water running on them, and on the lower part there is a wide sign made of hexagonal ceramics (they are separated by green glaze and gilded bricks). During the renovation at the beginning of the 20th century, the remnants of ancient decorations were removed and plastered with white plaster. The beauty of the patterns of the Baraqkhan madrasa, in terms of construction style, is close to the best architectural monuments of Samarkand (the White Palace and Ishratkhana of the second half of the 15th century). Repair works were carried out in 1946, 1949, 1951, 1967. Barak Khan madrasa is currently under the jurisdiction of the Office of Muslims of Uzbekistan.
