List of World Heritage Sites.[2]
The Kutlug Timur minaret belongs to a group of around 60 minarets and towers built between the 11th and the 13th centuries in Central Asia, Iran and Afghanistan including the Minaret of Jam, Afghanistan.
On the basis of its decorative brickwork, including Kufic inscriptions, the minaret is thought to be an earlier construction but was restored by Kutlug-Timur around 1330.[3]
