Madrasah of Arab-Khan & Muhammad-Amin-inak

The two historical madrassah are located in the center of Ichan-Qala to the left of the road going from Ata-darvaza gates to Palvan-darvaza. The first is connected with Arab-Muhammad-khan (1602-1623) from the Chingizidis and the second relates to Muhammad-Amin-inak (1763/70-1790), the founder of Manghit dynasty. Madrassah of Arab-khan was built in 1616 to commemorate the transfer of Khorezm capital from Kunya-Urgench to Khiva. It was reconstructed in 1838, at Allakulikhan. Madrassah of Muhammad-Amin-inak dates from the second half of the 18th century. It contains a deposition inside the pylon of southern avian. The legends say that it might be a tomb either of Muhammad-Amin-inak, or his little son.
