The Kalta Minor Minaret, a stunning unfinished tower adorned with vibrant blue and green tiles, is a highlight of Khiva's UNESCO-listed Itchan Kala old city in Uzbekistan. It is highly accessible on foot within the pedestrian-friendly walled city, making it suitable for all visitors. While you cannot climb the minaret, it's easily admired both solo or as part of a guided tour of Itchan Kala, which provides richer historical context. The best times to visit are spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) to avoid extreme summer heat or winter cold, though it is open year-round. Access to view Kalta Minor is usually included in the comprehensive Itchan Kala entrance ticket, typically costing around 100,000-150,000 UZS (approx. $8-$12 USD) for foreigners, valid for multiple days for various monuments. A dedicated visit for photos and appreciation might take 10-20 minutes, though it's usually part of a half to full-day exploration of Itchan Kala. It's a popular photographic spot, especially at dawn or dusk, and stands as a unique testament to Khiva's architectural ambition.
