Khiva

High angle view of Muhammad Rakhim-khan II Madrasah, 1871, seen from a terrace of Ichan Kala, Khiva, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 5, 2010, in the afternoon. Just inside the Kun Ark Citadel, the Muhammad Rakhim-khan II Madrasah is one of the biggest Madrasahs in Khiva. Commissioned by Muhammad-Rahim II (1863-1910), it has a two tiered celled facade, with a massive central portal, and small towers at the corners. Khiva, ancient and remote, is the most intact Silk Road city. Ichan Kala, its old town, was the first site in Uzbekistan to become a World Heritage Site(1991). Picture by Manuel Cohen.
