Vobkent minaret, 12th-century minaret in Vabkent District, Uzbekistan
The Vobkent minaret reaches a height of 40.3 meters with detailed decorative patterns adorning its cylindrical structure throughout its entire length.
Built in 1196, this architectural monument represents the advanced engineering capabilities and religious significance of medieval Central Asian construction methods.
The minaret functions both as a religious tower for the call to prayer and as a guiding beacon for travelers crossing the region.
