Kokand, in the western Fergana Valley
The Narburtabey mosque (Norbo'tabiy masjidi) and madrasah, completed in 1799; it had been closed by the bolsheviks, but today Narbuta-bey Madrasah again functions as a religious institution where 80 students from all over the Fergana Valley study Koran, hadiths and the Arabic language.
