Sarban Minaret

Sarban Minaret is a tall tower in Isfahan built entirely from brick and tile in seven distinct sections. The surface is adorned with glazed tiles that create an ornate appearance.

The tower was built during the Seljuk period about 1100 years ago and once served as an orientation point for trade caravans. This structure represents a key example of the architectural period that shaped Isfahan.

The tower displays the craftsmanship of Persian builders who arranged bricks and tiles into geometric patterns. Visitors can still observe these detailed patterns today and see how such structures served as important landmarks for the city.

The tower is located in an easily accessible area of the city and can be viewed from the exterior. Visitors should note that the structure is very old, so care should be taken while exploring around it.

The tower features two distinct crowns at its top adorned with intricate brick patterning. This architectural detail is often overlooked by visitors despite being what makes the structure distinctive.
