  • 2. Itchan Kala Khiva
    Ichan Kala is the walled inner town of the city of Khiva, Uzbekistan. Since 1990, it has been protected as a World Heritage Site. The old town retains more than 50 historic monuments and 250 old houses, dating primarily from the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries. Djuma Mosque, for instance, was established in the tenth century and rebuilt from 1788 to 1789, although its celebrated hypostyle hall still retains 112 columns taken from ancient structures. The most spectacular features of Ichan Kala are its crenellated brick walls and four gates, one at each side of the rectangular fortress. Although the foundations are believed to have been laid in the tenth century, present-day 10-metre-high walls were erected mostly in the late seventeenth century and later repaired.

    Lyab-i Hauz , or Lyab-i Khauz, is the name of the area surrounding one of the few remaining hauz that have survived in the city of Bukhara. Until the Soviet period there were many such ponds, which were the city's principal source of water, but they were notorious for spreading disease and were mostly filled in during the 1920s and 1930s.

The Lyab-i Hauz ensemble, surrounding the pond on three sides, consists of the Kukeldash Madrasah (the largest in the city , and of two religious edifices built by Nadir Divan-Beghi: a khanaka and a madrasah (that stand on the west and east sides of the pond respectively...
