Iʼm happy to share again an amazing trip to Govkushon Memorial Complex 🙃 So , letʼs start 🥰   Govkushon madrasa was built in the early stage of the last middle ages, during the reign of the Shaybanids, in the 16th century. Various sizes of raw and ready-made bricks, wood, clay, stone, tin and similar materials were used in its construction. Between Govkushan madrasa and mosque, Shahrud disappeared. But this ditch was buried in the 1930s. The eastern side of the madrasah is two-storeyed, and there are single-storeyed cells and a mezana on the sides and back. The corner on the arch in the west of the peshtok is decorated with floral motifs, and the book part is decorated with suls letters. At the entrance, on the right, there is a mosque-room (classroom).
