Khalifa Niyozkul Madrasah, better known as Chor Minor.
Built in 1807. The madrasah was a large courtyard surrounded by a one-story row of hujras. The main building with towers is the darvozakhona (gate) to the madrasah. Living rooms of the hujra are attached to the side walls of the central building. At the four corners of the darvozakhona building there are four towers, shaped like minarets, due to which the entire complex was called Chor Minor (Four Minarets). On the second floor and in the towers there was a large library. Each of the four towers (minarets) has a different shape. The madrasah was built on the initiative and with funds from Caliph Niyozkul. Bukhara.
