Abstract
We construct integrable spin chains with the inhomogeneous periodic disposition of the anisotropy parameter. The periodicity holds for both auxiliary (space) and quantum (time) directions. The integrability of the model is based on a set of coupled Yang-Baxter equations. This construction yields the P-leg integrable ladder Hamiltonians. We analyse the corresponding quantum group symmetry.
