Ayaz-Kala

Ayaz Kala is actually a group of three ancient desert fortresses (Ayaz Kala 1, 2, and 3), believed to have been built between the 4th century BCE and the 7th century CE. These fortresses were part of the ancient civilisation of Khorezm, which played a key role along early Silk Road routes

Fortress Toprak Kala

Toprak Kala, meaning “Earthen Fortress,” was a large, fortified city built around the 1st–2nd century CE. Unlike Ayaz Kala (which was mainly defensive), Toprak Kala served as a royal residence and administrative centre of the Khorezmian rulers.

Kyzyl Kala

  • 30m

Kyzyl Kala means “Red Fortress”, named after the reddish colour of its mud-brick walls. It dates to the 1st–4th century CE and served as a fortified residence or defensive structure connected to nearby Toprak Kala.

Akchakul
