Kamal-Kazy Madrasah. The madrasah was built in 1820. Part of the madrasah's façade is covered with colored ceramic tiles. It should be noted that the highest quality ceramic tiles in Kokand are, paradoxically, the work of the latest generations. The glazed tiles of the Kamal-Kazy Madrasah façade are excellent. It was built by local craftsmen under the supervision of Usta Umarkhan. Ceramic tiles for the façade were made in 1913 during the restoration by master ceramist Muhammad Sadyk-Kazy. The yellow and blue flat koshin (ceramic tiles of an even tone, precisely molded) are especially good, while the red-brown and manganese ones are coarser in tone. The carved tympanums are made with great skill: they are assembled very confidently and tastefully.
The dome of the madrasah is built in the shape of a Central Asian skullcap. It is covered with square copper sheets by the master brothers Sadykhan and Khadzhimat. Recently, the building of the Kamal-kazy madrasah was restored. However, in 2013, due to the expansion of the main road, the madrasah building was moved and rebuilt anew.
As an architectural monument, the Kamal-kazy Madrasah was described by I. Azimov as follows: The Kamal-kazy Madrasah is a Muslim institution of higher education, including a classroom (darskhana), small cells (hujras) and a mosque "aivan". As a whole, they form a courtyard asymmetric composition. Particular attention should be paid to the entrance part (darvazakhana), highlighted by a decorative separate portal with cylindrical towers at the corners and towering domed lanterns. As in the palace of Khudayar Khan, only the entrance part is richly decorated here. The portal is completely covered with mosaic tiled ornament, where the geometric pattern is combined with Arabic inscriptions. Behind the portal, a two-tiered volume was erected, the upper part of which, covered with a tetrahedral dome, served as a classroom. The balcony of the darskhana, facing the main facade, is a kind of canopy over the entrance to the square courtyard (20 x 20 m), built with hujras and a mosque. The latter is a four-columned, east-facing aivan with a beamed ceiling. The interiors are decorated with ganch, and the outer walls are laid out of baked bricks, and, like many other public buildings, left without stucco.
The architecture of the Kamal-kazy madrasah reflects the folk traditions of Kokand masters.
In the area of the stone bridge there were two more large madrasahs built on the left bank of Kokand-sai: "Madali Khan Madrasah" and "Hakkuli Mingbashi Madrasah". The first of them was founded in 1828 by Muhammad Ali Khan, the second was built by Hakkuli Mingbashi Jahangirbek, the son of the dadkhi in 1825. Unfortunately, these buildings have not survived to this day. A dormitory and a fire department building were built in their place. Not far from them there was also the Tunkatar madrasah, now destroyed.
