While the scale of the Registan's three madrasas is impressive, it's the intricate tile work and details that blow the mind. Icing on the cakes.
A view of one of the courtyards, where the blue mosaic tile work is in full bloom on all the angles.
Moving in for a closer look. You get borders, column work, flower mosaics, all sorts of wonders. A window can't just be a window. Lattice with tile, please.
Oh boy. One of the madrasas has a mosque and the interior of that mosque is pure blue and gold fantasia.
Getting 3D. An alcove, of course tile covered, also features a stalactite pattern. More is more is great! Why stop at the madrasas? Exterior walls also get tile bling.
Back inside, a nice re-creation of the man responsible for the oldest madrasa, astronomer Mirzo Ulugbek, sporting his fancy chapan.
