Architectural Delights


Khiva's architectural delights lie within the city wall in a relatively compact area. Most visitors enter the old town through the West Gate (Ata-Darvaza). Once inside, they find immediately on their left the Kunya Ark, the Old Citadel, which also includes elements dating from the fifth century.

On their right is the Muhammad Amin Khan madrasah. The massive Kaltar Minar minaret is a bit ahead. About 200 meters (near 200 yards) straight toward center of city, on the left, is the Muhammad Rakhimkhan madrasah located.

Past it, near the East Gate, is the 19th-century Tash Khauli palace and the Allah Kuli madrasah. A five-minute stroll south of the center of city are the ancient Sayyid Allovaddin and the lovely Pakhlavan Mahmud mausoleums, the Shergazi khan madrasah, and the Islam Khodja minaret and Mosque.
Khiva glazed tiling
The glazed tiling of Khorezm has its own characteristic style, in a muted palette of deep blue, light blue, and white, sometimes with touches of brown, though what has survived fails to reach the intensity and quality of that of Samarkand. Only one of the traditional geometrical patterns common in Bukhara and Samarkand, the five-pointed stars in pentagons, are used in Khiva. Khivan decoration more often uses exceptionally lovely floral or twining vine and leaf patterns.
Khorezm woodworking
In Khorezm, woodworking has long been an art, and remarkable carved wooden columns and doors can be seen almost everywhere.
