Baroqxon madrasasi
Baroqxon madrasasi is a sixteenth-century religious complex in Tashkent, assembled from buildings raised during different periods. Its grounds include a mausoleum and a khanqah, a gathering place for religious activities.
An eastern mausoleum predates the complex, while a two-domed khanqah honoured Suyunchoja Khan in 1530. Mid-century rebuilding followed the rule of Baroqxon, also known as Shaybani Navruz Ahmad Khan. The portal stands apart in Tashkent, with a kolab-qizilcha arch, carved bricks, and mosaic decoration. Restoration work removed much of the exterior ornament, while repairs continued in 1946, 1949, 1951, and 1967.
A library of Eastern manuscripts preserves the Osman Quran, written on 353 parchment sheets during the seventh century. Amir Timur brought the manuscript from Baghdad, and it later travelled through Saint Petersburg, Ufa, and Tashkent. Since Uzbekistan’s independence, the sacred book has remained in a special library room here. One mausoleum honours Suyunchoja Khan, while another was intended for Baroqxon before his reburial in Samarkand.
