Kurnysh Khan, Ak-Sheikh Bobo. Alla Kuli Khan Mosque
Kunya-Ark is translated as "Old Fortress." This architectural monument is considered an internal khan's citadel and is situated in the historic city of Ichan-Kala.
Mohammed-Erenkoy Khan erected the monument in the 17th century. The inner city was divided from the outside by a very high wall.
Here were the Khan mosque, Supreme Court, reception and residence of the ruler, stationery, mint, powder plant with an arsenal, stables with galleries and kitchens, guardhouse and many other facilities.

In the 18th century, the very first building of Kurnysh Khan was destroyed. Iltuzar Khan was engaged in its reconstruction.
In the southern part was the ruler's throne room, which had an aivan, which was based on two columns. In the center, a yurt where Khan rested.
In the western part was the repository of all records and Khan's treasury.
The scenery of the monument continues to captivate visitors to this day.
Aivan is decorated with blue and white majolica. Ganch masters worked under doors. They are decorated with carvings.
The ceiling is decorated with colored paintings. On one of the columns, they even presented lines by the famous poet and historian, Ohagi.
The highest point of Kunya-Ark is considered the crossing between the Ak-Sheikh-Bo hill and the harem.
This corridor, at that time, was used as a viewing platform.
At the foot of the Ak-Sheikh-Bo hill was the harem, with bunk homes and avian. Harem and Kurinysh Khan were divided by the mosque and mint.
During Muhammad Rahim Khan's rule, he carried out tax reform, and that led to the formation of the mint, where the minting masters made coins.
