Kulkedash Medressa
The grand 16th-century Kulkedash Medressa sits beside Tashkent's principal Juma (Friday) mosque on a hill overlooking Chorsu Bazaar. The 15th-century mosque was once a place of execution for unfaithful wives. The mosque was a sheet metal workshop and the medressa a storage space during Soviet times. Both were renovated in the mid-90s, and on warm Friday mornings the plaza in front overflows with worshippers.
