Konya Ark
- Photo of the day
- 1 minute
Konya Ark, the old fortress, doesn’t look its age. Built in 1686-1688 and remodelled at the very beginning of the 19th century, it now has a smooth face thanks to very recent restoration work. Konya Ark is one of the outstanding monuments of Itchan Kala, the old town of Khiva. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the city has been the subject of tense negotiations for years between defenders of its historic heritage and the tourism and property industries.
