This stunning print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Khiva, a city located in Xorazm Province, Uzbekistan. With a population of around 50,000 people, Khiva is known for its remarkable historical significance and architectural wonders. The Old City is encircled by adobe walls, creating an enchanting atmosphere that transports you back in time. At the heart of Khiva lies Itchan Kala, the oldest part of the city and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1991. This area showcases intricate architecture and narrow streets filled with history. One cannot miss the iconic minaret of Kalta-Minor standing tall at 29 meters high - it has become an emblematic symbol representing this extraordinary city. As you explore further into Khiva's old town, remnants of ancient gates still stand proudly while cars are left outside as if to preserve its authenticity. The tranquility found within these walls is truly idyllic; it feels like stepping into another world where time stands still. In this photograph by Frans Sellies from Fine Art Storehouse, we witness a picturesque scene featuring clear blue skies reflecting on standing water near a serene lake or pond. A solitary tree adds to the peaceful ambiance surrounding the magnificent minaret and protective wall. Khiva's allure lies not only in its rich history but also in its ability to captivate visitors with its timeless charm. This print serves as a reminder of the breathtaking beauty that awaits those who venture into this magical city
