West Gate of Itchan Kala – A Grand Entrance to the Walled City.

The West Gate of Itchan Kala, also known as Ata Darvoza ("Father Gate"), serves as the main and most majestic entrance to Khiva’s ancient inner city — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This imposing gate was historically the official ceremonial entry point to the city and continues to welcome visitors into one of Central Asia’s best-preserved medieval urban ensembles.

Originally destroyed in the early 20th century, the West Gate was faithfully reconstructed in the 1970s, restoring its symmetrical brick towers and arched vaults in line with traditional Khivan design. Standing before it, travelers are met with the iconic view of Kalta Minor Minaret and Muhammad Amin Khan Madrasah, marking the beginning of an unforgettable journey through centuries of Islamic culture and architecture.

In the past, Ata Darvoza was used for royal processions, official delegations, and grand ceremonies. Its strategic location allowed for direct access to the central square and major monuments within the citadel. Today, it remains the most popular entry point for tourists and a powerful symbol of Khiva’s legacy.

Passing through the West Gate is a step back in time, into a world of minarets, madrasahs, and legends from the golden age of...

Ichan-qal’a - qadimiy Xivaning qalbi

Ichan-qal’a - O‘zbekistonning Xorazm viloyatida joylashgan Xiva shahrining tarixiy qismidir. Baland qal’a devorlari bilan o‘ralgan bu noyob me’moriy majmua O‘zbekistondagi YUNESKOning Butunjahon merosi ro‘yxatiga kiritilgan birinchi obyekt hisoblanadi (1990-yil).

Ichan-qal’a o‘zining to‘rtta ulkan darvozasi bilan mashhur bo‘lib, ularning har biri shaharning turli tomonlariga yo‘l ochadi. Eng mashhurlari sayyohlar odatda shaharga kiradigan Ota-darvoza va cho‘lga qaragan Bog‘cha-darvozadir. Bu darvozalar o‘tmishda nafaqat mudofaa vositasi sifatida xizmat qilgan, balki muhim savdo va madaniy aloqalar markazi ham bo‘lgan.

Qal’a devorlari ichida o‘nlab me’moriy durdonalar: madrasalar, minoralar, masjidlar va saroylar joylashgan. Ichan-qal’aning eng taniqli ramzlaridan biri Kalta minor bo‘lib, u o‘zining g‘ayrioddiy balandligi va yorqin moviy sopollari bilan hayratga soladi.

Ichan-qal’a shunchaki ochiq osmon ostidagi muzey emas. Ичан-Кала – сердце древнего Хивы

Ичан-Кала – это историческая часть города Хива, расположенного в Хорезмской области Узбекистана. Этот уникальный архитектурный комплекс, окружённый мощными крепостными стенами, является первым объектом в Узбекистане, включённым в список Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО (1990).

Ичан-Кала славится своими четырьмя монументальными воротами, каждые из которых ведут в разные части города. Наиболее известные – ворота Отa-Дарвоза, через которые туристы обычно входят в город, и Багча-Дарвоза, обращённые к пустыне. Эти ворота в прошлом служили не только для обороны, но и были важными пунктами торговли и культурного обмена.

Внутри крепостных стен находятся десятки архитектурных шедевров: медресе, минареты, мечети и дворцы. Одним из самых узнаваемых символов Ичан-Калы является минарет Калта-Минор, который удивляет своей необычной высотой и яркой бирюзовой керамикой.

Ичан-Кала – это не просто музей под открытым небом. Здесь можно почувствовать дух древности, прогуляться по узким улочкам и представить, как жил этот город столетия назад. Сегодня это место привлекает путешественников со всего мира, позволяя прикоснуться к богатой...

The 200k ticket for foreigners is only valid for a day, not a comprehensive ticket and does not include all the places. So you really need to rush through all the places if you want to see all the included ones. In Samarkand we took individual tickets and saw everything at leisure spending a good amount of time in each place, no rushing. If u have already done Samarkand and Bukhara, you may skip Khiva. According to me you can walk leisurely around Khiva without a ticket, its like going back in time inside a fortress town without spending a dime on entry. But finally it is your money and call, this...

At this gate there is a woman in a headscarf, in a national robe with a badge, who take to scan your ticket, but at the same time scans your QR code and steals your cashback. I said about it ,because she thought I am a foreign tourist,but my family lives in Tashkent and I gather for them all QR codes for their cashback. So she was shocked that couth the wrong tourist and said sorry.......It's a shame . She represents her city of Khiva, but this is a shame and leaves an unpleasant impression about the city. Imagine how many people she asks tickets per day ....
