dc.description	"To the south of the citadel is a square on which military reviews and executions took place: it is bordered by two madrasas, that of Muhammad Amin Khan (1851–5), the largest (72˙60 m) in Khiva, with cells arranged on two floors around a central court, and that of Muhammad Rahim Khan (1871). The 70 m minaret planned for the madrasa of Muhammad Amin Khan, the tallest in Central Asia, was left unfinished."	en_US
