History
editSome sources say that this historical object is the smallest madrasah in Khiva. The madrasah is so small and shows traditional building rules are not followed at all in the construction of it. Matrasulboy Mirzaboshi madrasah is located on the north side of Shergazikhan madrasah, on the road, and has one-story wooden doors with elegant carvings.[3] Currently, a embroidery workshop and a carpet shop operate in the madrasah building.[4]
