Brick Minaret, Ancient minaret in Khorramabad, Iran.
The cylindrical brick tower stands 30 meters tall on a stone platform in the southern section of Khorramabad, featuring a western entrance and internal staircase.
Built during the Dailamite period in the 10th century, this structure guided caravans and protected the city as a watchtower for travelers and merchants.
The minaret's architecture combines Persian construction methods with influences from Indian stupas and Central Asian defensive tower designs of medieval Iran.
Visitors can climb 99 steps inside the minaret to reach the rooftop, with the structure located near the Falak-ol-Aflak Castle in central Khorramabad.
The base circumference measures 4.5 meters, with remnants of stone structures nearby indicating a former complex including a caravanserai and mosque.
