Khiva is an ancient city located in Xorazm
Province, Uzbekistan. In the 10th century Khiva is mentioned as a major
trading center on the Silk Road. Itchan Kala is the inner town, protected by
brick walls some 10 m high, of the old Khiva oasis, which was the last
resting-place of caravans before crossing the desert to Iran.
In 1990 the city was included in the UNESCO World
Heritage List.
