Minaret Kabir


Minaret Kabir was an eleventh century brick minaret, located in Tabas, constructed during the Seljuk Empire.
The minaret was one of the earliest recorded man-made structures in Tabas, constructed between 993 and 1014. It was estimated to be approximately high.
It collapsed on 22 February 1907, due to the construction of the Kariz-e Allahabad, a qanat, which weakened the minaret's foundations.
The minaret was recorded as one of Iran's National Heritage on 7 December 1935.
The remnants of the minaret were removed in the 1960s and bricks from it have been found in the walls of surrounding houses.
