🎧  Listen to Introduction

Ichan Kala is the inner city of the old Khiva oasis (protected by a brick wall about 10 meters high), and was the last resting place for caravans before crossing the desert to Iran. Although few very ancient remains now remain, it is a coherent and well-preserved Central Asian Muslim architecture in a unique style. There are several outstanding buildings here, such as the Juma Mosque, mausoleums and madrasas, as well as two magnificent palaces built by the Alaquli Khan in the early 19th century.
