Khiva, the ancient city of the Khorezm oasis in western Uzbekistan, is known as the "Pearl of Central Asia" and was once an important stop on the Silk Road. The 2,500-year-old city has preserved the medieval architecture of Central Asia, and its inner city, Itchen-Kara, is a World Heritage Site, with monuments such as the 10th-century Kayan Mosque, the 19th-century Tashkent College, and the castle of Kuyankara, a symbol of power. The earthen-colored buildings of Khiva, set against the oasis landscape, have been described as an "open-air museum" and are an excellent window into the history and culture of Central Asia.
