🎧 Listen to Introduction
The 65-meter-high Minaret of Jam is an elegant, towering structure that dates back to the 12th century. Covered in fine brickwork and topped with a blue tile inscription, the minaret is striking for its architectural and decorative quality, representing the pinnacle of the region's architectural and artistic traditions. Its impact is multiplied by its rugged location, a deep river valley between towering mountains in the heart of Ghor Province.
