Tilla-Kari Madrassah

The Tilla-Kari Madrassah, located in Registan Square is a stunning architectural gem that attracts visitors from around the world. Its breathtaking facade adorned with intricate blue and gold mosaics, showcasing the finest craftsmanship of the Timurid era. Its lavish decoration, featuring intricate herbal motifs and linear patterns adorn the entire building. Within the western part of the madrassah lies a mosque, distinguished by its grand glazed dome.

Although much of its original decoration was lost over time, dedicated restorers successfully recovered it in the latter half of the 20th century. This restoration effort led to the inclusion of the madrassah on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2001, recognizing its significance as a masterpiece of Central Asian architecture. The interior of the mosque has gold embellishments which was applied using the "kyndal" method. The madrasa is lit up with colourful lights every evening during the light show at the Registan Square.
