Download or read book Khiva Uzbekistan Wink Travel Guide written by Wink Travel Wink Travel Guide and published by . This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Khiva is an important and often overlooked historical site on what was once the Great Silk Road (Uzbek: Buyuk Ipak Yol'i).

Khiva is divided into two distinct sections; one being the older, museum-like Ichon-Qala or Itchan Kala (literally: within the wall) where striking examples of Islamic architecture were built over the span of 600 years; and the modern Dichon-Qala (literally: outside the wall) where both the majority of the population live and where all of the modern buildings exist, but glimpses of Khiva's greatness as a center of Islamic power still linger.
