Shirgazi Khan Madrassah, Korihona

Forgive me, I am leaving, dear Shirgazi..."
Mahtumkuli

Not far from the mausoleum of Pakhlavan Mahmoud, in the center of Ichan Kala, was built the Shirgazi Khan Madrassah in the 1718–1720 years.
In a campaign to Khurasan, slaves were captured.Shirgazi Khan built this madrassah. Khan promised the people that after the completion of the building, he would release them.

However, Khan did not want to release his new builders and specifically delayed the time of completion of construction. There was a riot, and Khan was killed in his own madrassah.

Shirgazi Khan Madrasah is located at the depth of the cliff, which was formed near the city wall.

By the way, Mahtumkuli, the famous poet, studied in this madrassah. Today, the place is the worst to visit for every tourist who plans cultural tours to Uzbekistan.

Near the cemetery, next to the memorial to Pahlawan Mahmud, is a complex with several buildings of korihon. The Korihon building is a house where the Koran readers lived.

The Korihons were erected in the 19th century. Firstly, they used it for their direct purpose, and then they began to use it as a hostel for the blind.
