Xazorasp , also known as Hazorasp or Khazarasp, or by its more ancient name Hazarasp (, meaning "thousand horses"), is a town in Uzbekistan, and was an important trading center during the medieval period. During its history, the town has been subject to various battles; between the Ghaznavid Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni and the Ma'munid ruler Abu'l-Harith Muhammad in 1017; between the Seljuq Sultan Ahmad Sanjar and the Khwarazmian ruler Atsiz in 1147; and between the Khwarazmian ruler Muhammad II and the Ghurid ruler Mu'izz al-Din Muhammad. The town was finally destroyed during the Mongol invasions.
The town was later rebuilt, and only retained some of its importance. It was later a stronghold under the Mongol Arabshahids, and was also used as a residence by the Arabshahid princes. The city has survived to present day, and is today a part of Uzbekistan. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on January 2008, in the Cultural category
