Koy-Krylgan-Kala is an ancient circular monument in Karakalpakstan, north-western Uzbekistan, built in the 4th century BCE in the Kingdom of Khwarazm. Its round central building, surrounded by a fortified ring, is thought to have served as a temple, a royal tomb and an astronomical observatory, and it was used until about the 4th century CE. It was excavated by Sergei Tolstov's Khorezm expedition from 1952.
