The Ulugh Beg Madrasa is one of the few Timurid era buildings that have survived in the Bukhara region, the others being the Chashma-ye Ayyub in western Bukhara and the madrasa in Ghijduvan. Of the three, the two madrasahs were the work of Ulugh Beg, the astronomer-king and grandson of Timur, who reigned 1447-49.
