Uc Avlija Mausoleum

Small 16th-century mausoleum in Khiva's old city

Uc Avlija Mausoleum, the mausoleum of the three holy men, is one of the smaller historic monuments inside Khiva's Itchan Kala. Its portal and dome give a compact example of the old city's religious architecture, probably dating from the 16th century.

It is not a headline sight like the minarets or palaces, but it rewards slow wandering through Khiva. Add it to a route through the eastern side of the walled city rather than treating it as a stand-alone destination.
