Qutlugh Murad Inaq Madrasah (1804-1812)

- located in the eastern part of Ichan Qala in front of Hojashberdibiy madrasah. It was erected by Allah Kuli Khan's uncle Qutlugh Murad Inaq between 1804 and 1812. According to the legends, Qutlugh Murad Inaq expressed a wish to be buried in the madrasah that he had built. However, he died in Dishan Qala; it was considered to be a bad sign to bring the deceased into Ichan Qala through the city gate. That's why the clergy used a clever trick: Ichan Qala walls at the eastern gate were pulled down to include the madrasah into the Dishan Qala territory. The body was carried through the gap in the wall and buried in the madrasah entrance part under the floor of the central vestibule room. It was the first completely two-storey masrasah in Khiva comprising 81 hujras. The building is composed along the longitudinal axis with a four-ayvan yard and connected with residential hudjras for students and teachers. There is a well - sardoba - covered with a dome in the yard. Qutlugh Murad Inaq madrasah is the only monument in Khiva where non-glazed relief-stamped terracotta was used. Corner guldasta of the main facade are decorated with terracotta tiles with non-recurring pattern - guirikh. Dimensions: total: 57 x 44 m; yard: 31.5 x 27.8 m; darskhana and mosque: 5 x 5 m; sardoba diameter: 7.15 in.
