🏛️ Silk Walls and Royal Echoes – Toshhovli Palace, Khiva, Uzbekistan

#postandearn 📍 Toshhovli Palace (Tosh-Hovli), Khiva, Itchan Kala, Xorazm Region, Uzbekistan — located within the UNESCO-listed walled old city of Khiva Toshhovli Palace, meaning “Stone House,” is one of Khiva’s most exquisite royal residences — a 19th-century labyrinth of carved wood, tiled courtyards, and secretive chambers built for the Khans of Khiva. Though less imposing than other Central Asian palaces, it’s a masterpiece of intimacy and elegance, with every surface telling a story through color and pattern. Step into its harem quarters, cross the sunlit ceremonial courtyards, and lose yourself in the geometric mosaics of blue, white, and turquoise. It’s not just a palace — it’s poetry in tile and space, filled with the whisper of silk and sandalwood. 🧭 Tips for Visitors: • Visit early to enjoy quiet light across the tiled walls • Ideal for lovers of Islamic architecture, design, and Uzbek heritage • Wear shoes easy to slip off — some interiors may request it • Combine with nearby sights like the Kalta Minor Minaret and Kunya-Ark • Bring a guide or app to understand the layers of the palace’s design #toshhovlipalace #khivaheritage #uzbekarchitecture #itchankala #silkroadsplendor #hiddencentralasia #slowtraveluzbekistan #timelesskhiva#localguides #historicallandmarks #历史古迹
