6. Big Kirkkiz Kala, dating from the 4th century BCE to the 7th–8th centuries CE, is a rectangular fortress with double walls and a two-story archer gallery; during the Afrighid period, the surrounding area was a center for pottery production.

10. Toprak Kala, dating from the 2nd–3rd centuries CE during the Kushan period, served as the royal residence of Khorezm kings, initially a sanctuary and later an administrative citadel, highlighting the region’s political and cultural significance.

11. Kyzyl Kala, built in the Late Antique period (1st–4th centuries CE) and rebuilt in the 12th–13th centuries, may have functioned as a garrison or fortified manor house, completing a remarkable journey through Khorezm’s historic fortresses.
