Kyzyl Qala

Kyzyl-Kala, an ancient fortress nestled in the heart of Karakalpakstan, Uzbekistan, is a remarkable testament to the architectural and strategic prowess of the ancient Khorezm civilization. Situated near the ancient town of Toprak-Kala, Kyzyl-Kala is believed to have been an integral part of the fortified system of Toprak-Kala, serving as an additional line of defense.

Dating back to the last stage of the antique Khorezm architectural history, Kyzyl-Kala is considered a prototype of the castles from the Afrigid period, characterized by massive columns and a unique architectural style. Discovered during the Khorasan expedition led by S.P. Tolstov in 1938, Kyzyl-Kala has since been a subject of extensive study, shedding light on the ancient civilization that once thrived in the region.

The layout of Kyzyl-Kala reveals a well-planned and structured settlement. The fortress, almost square in form, was surrounded by a double vallum and watchtowers at each corner, indicating its defensive nature. A main street ran through the center of the settlement, leading to a temple where Zoroastrian priests conducted their rituals. The residential area was divided into sections, each containing several rooms for families to live in.

Kyzyl-Kala’s strategic location in the plain, standing as a sentinel guarding Toprak-Kala, highlights its importance in the defensive system of the Khorezmshakh State. Legend has it that Toprak-Kala and Kyzyl-Kala were connected by an underground passage, further emphasizing their close relationship and strategic significance.

Despite its age, Kyzyl-Kala managed to survive until the invasion of Genghis Khan, a testament to its robust construction and strategic importance. Today, Kyzyl-Kala stands as a silent witness to the ancient civilization of Khorezm, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the region. Its discovery and subsequent study have contributed significantly to our understanding of the ancient Khorezm civilization and its architectural achievements.
