Uzgen Minaret, Medieval minaret in Özgön, Kyrgyzstan.
The Uzgen Minaret rises from an octahedral base of 8.5 meters in diameter to a cylindrical tower reaching 27.5 meters in height at present.
The minaret was constructed during the 11th century when Uzgen served as the capital of the Karakhanid Khanate, marking a period of regional power.
The tower exhibits intricate brickwork patterns characteristic of Central Asian Islamic architecture, demonstrating the regional construction methods of medieval craftsmen.
The structure stands within the Uzgen Historical Complex, which includes three mausoleums and can be reached by various transportation methods from Osh region.
The minaret functioned both as a religious tower for prayer calls and as a military watchtower, combining spiritual and defensive purposes.
