Sheikh Mavlon Complex is a historical object consisting of a mosque, a cemetery and a minaret, located near the old village of Qiyat, Khiva District Khorezm region. In the 19th century, a minaret, a mosque and a madrasah were built in this area, which was originally a cemetery, by order of Alla-Kuli-Khan. The cemetery, which is the foundation of the complex, contains the graves of Ogahi and his uncle, Shermuhammad Munis, a historian and translator who was a secretary in the Khiva Khanate.[1] The complex is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. At the moment, this complex is part of the Itchan Kala Museum-Reserve.[2]
