Message from Graziano e Federica

Kuhna Ark in Khiva is like stepping back in time to the 19th century when it was the fortress and residence of the Khiva rulers. This historical site features stunning tilework, a summer mosque, a mint, a throne room, and even a jail with displays of chains and manacles. Visitors can explore the various courtyards, corridors, and rooms that once housed the Khan's office, harem, and council. Don't miss the watchtower for a panoramic view of the city walls and surrounding area. It's a must-visit for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike!
