Sheikh Mavlon Complex is a historical object consisting of a mosque, a cemetery and a minaret, located near the old village of Qiyat, Khiva District Khorezm region. In the 19th century, a minaret, a mosque and a madrasah were built in this area, which was originally a cemetery, by order of Alla-Kuli-Khan. The cemetery, which is the foundation of the complex, contains the graves of Ogahi and his uncle, Shermuhammad Munis, a historian and translator who was a secretary in the Khiva Khanate. The complex is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. At the moment, this complex is part of the Itchan Kala Museum-Reserve.
On 4 October 2019, by the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the historical object was included in the national list of real estate objects of tangible cultural heritage and received state protection. Currently, Khorazm Region Culture Department belongs to the state property based on the right of operational management.
