About the Gonbad-e Qabus (tower)
The Gonbad-e Qabus tower stands in the city of Gonbad-e Qabus in Iran. UNESCO listed it as a World Heritage Site in 2012. It marks the grave of Qabus, a ruler of the Ziyarid dynasty who reigned from 978 to 1012; the tower went up in his lifetime, in 1006/7. The city takes its name from the monument. The tower is considered a masterpiece of Iranian architecture.
Two inscription bands in rhymed prose record that Qabus ordered the foundation during his lifetime. Inside, the base measures 9.67 m (31.7 ft) across, and the entrance offers some of the earliest evidence in Iran for the moqarnas, or stalactite vaulting. The building is made of fine-quality baked brick. Its extraordinary height sets it apart from other cylindrical tomb towers along the Caspian Sea coast.
