Tashkent-Khiva
Itchan Kala - The gateway to the desert, Itchan Kala, stands as the largest remaining preserved walled city in Central Asia. Located in the heart of Khiva, the inner fortified city of Itchan Kala is home to over 50 historic monuments and 250 traditional dwellings that date back to the 19th century and beyond. As such, it stands as the perfect place to appreciate the evolution of Islamic architecture.

Islam Khodja Complex - Islam-Khodja Complex is one of the pearls of Ichan-Kala - Khiva’s historical part, which was the first Uzbekistan’s site included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1990. Although the madrasah and minaret of the complex were built only in 1908 - 1910, they are the most prominent of Ichan-Kala, its landmark. The complex is famous thanks to the contrast between its Ichan-Kala’s tallest minaret and smallest madrasah, as the architect of the complex designed. Thus the minaret, visible at a long distance, looks even grander. At the beginning of the last century the minaret helped travelers to orientate themselves and find the way to the city faster.
