Kavat-Kala

the remains of a feudal, rural settlement of Khwarazm, located 30 km northeast of the city of Biruni in the Kara-Kalpak ASSR. Kavat-Kala existed in the 12th century and the beginning of the 13th. It was probably destroyed as a result of a Mongol invasion. The settlement consisted of the prince’s residence, four castles of his vassals, and more than 90 peasant farmsteads. A peasant farmstead was unearthed during excavations in 1937, 1940, and 1956, as well as a columned hall decorated with woodcarving in the ruler’s castle.
