Al-Shadbakhtiyah Madrasa (Arabic: الْمَدْرَسَةُ الشَّاذْبَخْتِيَّةُ, romanized: al-Madrasat aš-Šāḏbaḵtīyah) is a 12th-century madrasah complex in Aleppo, Syria.[1] It was built by Jamal al-Din Shadbakht, an Indian slave who was freed by Nur ad-Din, and served as a lieutenant of the citadel at his master's death in 1174.[2]
