Minaret of Jam: the 213 foot: 65 meter ‘minaret’ stands alone on the south bank of the Hari Rud (Hari river) in a lonely, remote valley closely surrounded o all sides by towering barren mountains. Only the Qutb Minar in Delhi, directly inspired by the Jam minaret, stands higher, at 238 feet. The Minaret of Jam is, therefore, the second highest minaret in the world. More importantly, it is the only well-preserved architectural monument from the Ghorid period. The slender, tapering tower rises from an octagonal base 47 feet in diameter. It is constructed of fired brick. Winding around the designs of the first tier, passing from one panel to another, there is an epigraphic band containing the entire text of the 19th Sura of the Holi Qura’an, a long Sura entitled Maryam (Mary) which speaks of Mary and the Virgin Birth, of Prophets Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Aaron, Ishmael and Enoch, and, of Adam and Noah.
