Detail of Matniyaz Divan-begi madrasah (left) 1871, with the decorative tiled brick Kalta Minor, 1855, in the background Khiva, Uzbekistan, pictured on July 6, 2010, at sunrise. Commissioned by Muhammad Niyaz the rectangular, Madrasah has corner guldastas which are geometrically patterned in blue, white and green, with green brick domes. The Kalta Minor or Short Minaret was commissioned by Mohammed Amin Khan in 1852 to stand 70 m. high, but was abandoned when he died in 1855, and remains only 26 m. high. 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.
