Kalyan Minaret
The Kalyan Minaret is a brick minaret in Bukhara, Uzbekistan, built in 1127 by the Kara-Khanid ruler Arslan Khan Muhammad. About 46 metres high and decorated with bands of patterned brickwork, it was the tallest building in Central Asia for centuries. According to tradition, Genghis Khan spared it when he sacked Bukhara in 1220. It stands beside the Kalyan Mosque and the Mir-i Arab Madrasa.
