Here in Turkmenistan, are the ruins of the great Kyz-Kala from the 6th century BC.The Great Kyz Kala, or “Maiden’s Castle,” is the largest in a group of buildings outside the west wall of Sultan Kala, which includes, the Lesser Kyz Kala, 250 meters (820 feet) to the south, the Kyz Bibi complex, approximately 300 meters (984 feet) to the north-east, and two more köshks, or fortress-like buildings, to the north.
The Greater Kyz Kala is the largest köshk in the Merv Oasis, only a little smaller than the Palace in Shahriyar Ark. This two-story köshk, approximately aligned north-south, consists of a rectangular platform with sloping sides with corrugated walls above.
