Overview
Surrounded by strong defensive walls, the inner city of Khiva — Ichan-Qala — became the first UNESCO World Heritage Site in Central Asia.
With its origins dating back centuries (the oldest architectural monuments belong to the 14th century), this fortress — with its palaces, mosques, madrasahs, mausoleums, minarets, caravanserais, and bathhouses — has turned Ichan-Qala into a unique open-air museum city.
As you explore Ichan-Qala, you will not only witness ancient and modern architecture and admire the colorful, mysterious patterns drawn in rich detail, but also discover the language, culture, and history of the region. You’ll hear its unique music and learn about traditions passed down through generations — leaving you truly amazed.
