Khiva

Uzbekistan

Khiva, Uzbekistan connects to 3223 other places across 21 topics through 115 Bunkabop connections, with history making up the largest share by far. Its strongest ties run to Russia and Bukhara, rooted in centuries of shared trade, conflict, and a slave trade that once made the two cities among the largest markets for captives in the region. The Djuma Mosque, with its hypostyle hall of 112 columns drawn from ancient structures, anchors Khiva's architecture connections. A short-lived Soviet republic formed from the old Khanate after 1917 links Khiva to the broader Central Asian Soviet story.
