Islam Kodja Minaret, Khiva.
Itchan Kala is the inner town (protected by brick walls) of the old Khiva oasis, which was the last resting-place of caravans before crossing the desert to Iran. Although few very old monuments still remain, it is a coherent and well-preserved example of the Muslim architecture of Central Asia.
