Sareban Minaret, Isfahan, Iran
The Sareban Minaret, also known as the minaret of the camel driver, is a perfect example of a free-standing brick minaret from the twelfth century Seljuk period of central Iran. The minaret is 48 meters high, and was built between CE 1130 to CE 1155. The minaret was probably part of a mosque complex, now gone. Over time the minaret has acquired a visible tilt to the west.
