Located 2 km southwest of Khiva, the summer palace of Muhammad Rakhim khan was built at the end of the 19th century. It is a complex of three courtyards subtly decorated with blue majolica and encircled with iwan, behind which are the apartments, as in the palaces of Ichan kala. The palace also has a summer mosque and a winter mosque. A large pool brought freshness to the whole. Although ten years older, the summer palace, like the palace of Nurullah Bey, already has European-style windows. Just next door, one can visit the residence of Islam Khodja, whose architecture also has a European influence.
