About the Kalyan Minaret
The Kalyan Minaret is a brick tower in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, which belongs to the Po-i-Kalyan mosque complex. It rises 45.6 meters (150 ft), or 48 meters including its point, and tapers from 9 meters (30 ft) across at the base to 6 meters (20 ft) near the top. A brick spiral staircase winds up inside the shaft to the rotunda.
Bako designed the minaret, which the Qarakhanid ruler Mohammad Arslan Khan built in 1127 on the site of an earlier tower. It was used to call the faithful to prayer five times each day. Its brickwork is arranged in straight and diagonal ornamental bands, and the frieze carries blue-glazed inscriptions.
In wartime the tower served as a watchtower. About a century after it was built, Genghis Khan ordered it spared while the surrounding city was destroyed. It also earned the name Tower of Death: criminals were thrown from its gallery until the early twentieth century.
