Sherdor Madrasah is one of the greatest buildings in Samarkand, which completes the ensemble of Registan Square. Built in the XVII century, it is famous for its unique architecture and magnificent mosaics with images of tigers. Located in the very center of the city, the madrasah is not only a historical monument, but also an important cultural site that attracts tourists from all over the world.
Sherdor, with its tall towers and magnificent facade, is an example of the skill of oriental architects and artisans. The courtyard of the madrasah, surrounded by arches and carved stone ornaments, immerses in the atmosphere of antiquity and scholarship. Here you can see not only architectural elements, but also symbols reflecting the spiritual and cultural values of that time.

Second (average) according to the age of the madrasah on Registan Square. Unfortunately, the khanaka, which was built by Ulugbek, was dismantled for its construction. Perhaps because of the dilapidation, but then no one thought about restoration. It was built in the "Kosh" reception, i.e. the portal is strictly symmetrical to the Ulugbek madrasah. Ulugbek madrasah was inferior in prestige, despite its large size, no more than 40 people studied. Teaching was discontinued in the 1920s on the instructions of the Soviet government.

An ancient square with modern restoration, in a single architectural style with other objects of the square, we have never seen such buildings, towers and squares - it seems that you get into a fairy tale and you are transported back many, many millennia, in the evening with your magic illuminated! Thanks for some elements of the museum, where you can learn more about the history of the square and see photos,

We were very impressed after visiting the Madrasah. In ancient times, people managed not only to survive in a hot climate, but also to comprehend science and study.
We were struck by very low doors. So the people were small in stature. And the exhibition features large wax figures of tall stature. There is a discrepancy somewhere...

The business card of the whole of Uzbekistan is a collection of 3 madrasahs. This place is worth visiting at least once, preferably with a guide who will reveal the historical value of these structures.

The entrance is expensive for foreigners. You can take a guide inside, I recommend it. It seems to me that it is pointless to pay so much for admission without a guide. And it is not expensive compared to the cost of entry, it will tell you everything, I liked it.
