The Registan Square is a real gem located in the
very heart of the ancient city of Samarkand. It has
gained its worldwide fame thanks to the great
architectural ensemble that has become a monument
of the oriental architecture.

square is surrounded
with grand madrassah,


Translated from Uzbek, “registan” means a sand
place. In the ancient times, this central square was
covered by sand. The territory was not initially
surrounded by madrassah; those great erections
appeared rather later. In that period, authorities of the
city were gathering people on the square to announce
khan’s orders, held celebrations and public
executions, and collected the army leaving to war.

In the past, one could see many trade rows around
the square, where artisans and farmers were selling
their goods. All main roads of Samarkand led to
Registan where it was always noisy and lively. The history of the Registan Square

Various rulers during their reign would
change the main significance of the square, but
since those times and up to now, Registan has
always been the center of the city social life.
There are three madrassahs on the square:
Ulughbek, Sherdor and Tilla-Kori, that are the
main sights of the city. They were erected by
two rulers at different times.

The heir of the great state of the Temurids, a
well-known mathematician and astronomer
Ulughbek, assumed the authority in 1409. In year
1417, he gave an order to build the madrassah that
would later be renamed in his honor. It was the
first erection on the Registan Square. The word
“madrassah” stems from Arabic and literally
means “teaching and learning place”.
In 1420, the construction of madrassah ended.
On the outside, the building, located on the
western part of the square, was done in the form of
a rectangle; inside there is a square yard with
entrances to the student cells (approximately for
100 people) and learning rooms .

The fa s ade of the madrassah looks out
on the square, completed with two tall
minarets in the corners. Special attention
should be given to an exquisite interior
of the building. Glazed bricks create
beautiful ornaments on the yellowish
laying of the walls. The madrassah portal
is adorned with patterns of ten-pointed
stars symbolizing the sky, and astronomy.

At that time, it was the largest scientific-
educational establishment in Samarkand. Here
students were taught philosophy, astronomy,
mathematics, theology. Along with the
madrassah, caravan-sarai and khanqah
(hanaqa) of Ulughbek were constructed as well.
Two centuries later, they would build two other
madrassah on the place of the vendors’ shelter
and khanqah, and they would complete the
architectural ensemble that we can all see
today.

In 1612, Yalangtush Bahadur was appointed
the emir of Samarkand. He was the governor-
general of the Bukhara khans and by that time, he
was already ruling feudal principalities, was
known as a skillful politician and an educated
commander.
Being a ruler of the city, he decided to
construct another madrassah on the Square of
Registan opposite the building erected by
Ulughbek. According to the project of architects,
the new madrassah was supposed to be located on
the eastern side of the square and be a mirroring
reflection of existing building on Registan.

In the result, the new madrassah turned
out to be taller. However, it is rather
difficult to notice this different visually. However, the exact
mirroring concurrence did
not work as the architect did
not take one peculiarity into
consideration – 200 years
have passed since the
construction of the Ulughbek
madrassah, and the building
had shrunk into the ground
and the level of the square
itself had risen to 2 meters.

Construction lasted until 16 3 6. Emir Yalangtush
Bahadur wished his creation not to give in either in
pomposity or space to the Ulughbek madrassah. There was Ulughbek’s
hanaqa located on the
site of the territory
planned for
construction, that had
noticeably dilapidated by
that time. It was taken to
pieces and the main part
of the material was used
for erection of the new
building.

Ten years later since the construction of the
Sher-Dor madrassah, the ruler of Samarkand
Yalangtush Bahadur had planned to erect another
building that was supposed to complete the
ensemble.
The construction began in 1646, in the northern
part of the Registan Square, on the place of the
caravan-sarai. The architect decided that the new
madrassah should be another copy of already
existing buildings, though would be located in the
center.

Today different concerts such as “Sharq
taronalari”, celebrations and other bright
events of the city and the Republic are held
on the Registan Square. Thousands of
tourists’ daily flow to the square in order to
see the grand beauty.
Registan is a valuable gift that we had
inherited from our ancestors, embodying the
entire charm of the eastern architecture.
