Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: This is the remarkable Kulyan minaret of the Po-i-Kalyan mosque complex. It was built in 1127, and it is made of baked brick. Because it's more than 45 metres high, it was used until the 20th century as a killing device, as it were - criminals were thrown from the top; that earned it the nickname Tower of Death. [12]
Genghis Khan himself ordered the minaret to be spared because he found it so impressive. Everything else was destroyed. |
