A religious educational institution of the 16th century, which for many years served as the cultural and educational center of the city. In the XVIII century it housed a caravanserai, in the XIX century – the Khan’s fortress. There is a legend that at that time infidel wives were thrown in sacks from the walls of Kukeldash, and other public executions were carried out in the fortress. After the restoration of the madrasah building in the twentieth century, it regained its original functions.
