Madrasah-i Darb-i Kushk

Isfahan, Iran

Madrasa located in the Darb-i Kushk quarter of Isfahan (northwestern part of the city, west of the Chahar Bagh Avenue and north of Masjid-i Sayyid Street). The madrasa was once part of a larger service node for the surrounding neighborhood including a mausoleum, a zawiyya (only the portal of which remains), and a saqqa-khana.

The vault over the iwan may date to the Safavid period. The most notable feature of this madrasa is the fact that the canal known as Nahr Fadan runs through its central courtyard.
