Message from Graziano e Federica

The Juma Mosque in Khiva, Uzbekistan is a historic mosque dating back to the 10th century, but was rebuilt in 1788. It's a cool one-story brick building with a flat roof supported by 212 wooden columns. The mosque is smack dab in the middle of Itchan Kala, the old walled city of Khiva. Oh, and it's got a pretty tall minaret standing at 42 meters high. Overall, it's a neat spot to check out if you're into exploring ancient architecture and soaking up some history in Uzbekistan.
