The inner town has 26 hectares and was built according to the ancient traditions of Central Asian town building, as a regular rectangle (650 by 400 meters) elongated from south to north and closed by brick fortification walls that are up to ten meters high. Ichan Kala was the site of the khan's palace. High officials and clergy and rich merchants used to live here. The ordinary people, small merchants, craftsmen and peasants lived in Dishan Kala.
30 minutesCitadel Kunya-ark
The Kunya Ark is a fortified citadel at the heart of Khiva, nestled against the western ramparts of the Ichan Kala immediately north of the city's west gate. Originally built as early as the 12th century, the nucleus of its current layout was first constructed by Arang Khan (r. 1688-94). The Ark is the largest of Khiva's myriad buildings.

Pahlavan Mahmud is a local poet and philosopher who was famous for his heroic strength and the ability to heal people.

Later the building was rebuilt into a magnificent construction with the largest dome in the city, covered with blue tiles.
40 minutesJuma-Mosque
Khiva's Juma, or Friday Mosque is located almost at the heart of the Ichan Kala (old city)—a fitting location as the name of the ruling Khan would have been read aloud here during Friday prayers.

The Kalyan Minaret is the last surviving fragment of the Kara-khanid era mosque built by Mohammad Arslan Khan in 1127, predating the Mongol conquests.

1 hour 30 minutesMoschea Bolo-khauz
The Bolo Hauz stands opposite the Ark Fortress in a Kosh arrangement with the resistance between them. Its name means "above the pool", referring to the octagonal hauz, or artificial pond, located directly in front of it. Begun in 1712, early in the reign of Abu'l-Faiz Khan (r. 1711-47), it is one of the last and finest of Bukhara's major buildings prior to the modern era.

The Ark, a royal town-within-a-town, is Bukhara’s oldest structure, it was home to the rulers of Bukhara for over a millennium. The Ark is as old as Bukhara itself.
