| Kunya-Urgench is the heart of ancient Khorezm. Several outstanding architectural monuments have been preserved in Kunya-Urgench (Old Urgench). The mausoleums of Fahrad-din Razi (13th century), Tekesh Khorezmshakh (13th century), Turabek-khanum Kala (14th century), the fortress Ak-Kala & the minaret of the mosque (62m height). are a brilliant testament of the Urgench school of architecture and construction. |
