Description
Welcome to Tashkent. This eclectic city hosts
Russian-speaking cabbies on broad Soviet-built avenues, old
men wearing long traditional chapans (quilted coats) resting
outside of mud-walled houses, and throngs gathering
together before steaming cauldrons for their daily repast of
plov (a popular ethnic rice pilaf dish). With a visit to the
madrasah of Kukeldash we start our explorations of the
historic monuments of the Uzbek capital. The Bazaar is a fascinating site for a spot of people watching, or for stocking up on any snacks and
supplies for the coming days. From Chorsu visit the nearby Kukeldash Madrassah, which dates to
the late 16th century. During its near 450 years of history Kukeldash has functioned as a
Madrassah, caravanserai, fortress and museum, but returned in the 1990s to function as a working
madrassah.
