The Dishan Kala (translation: Outer Fortress, Uzbek: Dishan Qal’a) is a part of the citadel of Khiva. It was built by Khiva khan Allahquli Khan in 1842 to protect Khiva from external attacks. The construction involved a lot of people and the fortress was completed in 6 weeks. The wall (length 6250 meters, height 7–8 meters, wall thickness 5–6 meters) surrounded the fortress.
