Mohammed Rakhim Khan Madrassah, Jiva, Uzbekistán
East of the Kuhna Ark, across an open space that was once a busy palace square, the 19th-century Mohammed Rakhim Khan Medressa is named after the khan who surrendered to Russia in 1873. The history museum within is partly dedicated to this khan and his son, Isfandiyar. Mohammed Rakhim Khan was also a poet under the pen name Feruz.
