Ulugbek Madrassah was found in 1417,
as the inscription on the bronze plate of door runs
says. There is a name of master in the portal tympanum,
which was building this monument – Ismail ibn
Takhir ibn Makhmud Ispfargoni. It is possible he was
a grandson of one of the masters, who had been captured
by Timur in Iran and left their names on the portal
of Gur-Amir complex in Samarkand.
Bukhara Madrassah is the first Madrassah, built by
Ulugbek. It is comparatively small, but has great
forms. This is a building with two-ayvan square yard,
surrounded by two-storey hudjrs, with darskhana cupola
halls and mosque on the cross of entrance hall.
