Varzi Manor Minaret

Minaret Varzi Manor is located in the center of the Aini district of the Sughd region of the Republic of Tajikistan. 

The minaret is part of a large mosque of the 11th-22th centuries in the upper reaches of the Zarafshan. The minaret has a square stone plinth, at the level from which the spiral staircase begins. The shaft of the minaret has a round section. The graphic reconstruction of the minaret makes it possible to determine its height of 15-16 meters with its completion in the form of a lantern with a dome. The minaret consists of ornamental belts of brick, laid out three on edge.
