Bagh-e-Kush Khana

Portal and Minaret

This minaret is situated in the district of Towqchi to the north east of the city in a back street, close to Qods Place, and is sometimes referred to as the Minaret of Towqchi. The gateway beside it is of recent construction, and the minaret is all that remains of a probable pair that flanked an original gateway. The glazed brick decoration, which is made up of Kufic designs based on the phrase Allah Akbar - God is Great, and which is repeated on the base and the shaft, is typical of work executed during the Il-Khanid period and probably dates from about 1340.
