[Khiva] The eternally unfinished minaret [Uzbekistan]

I would like to introduce you to a beautiful, eternally unfinished minaret in Khiva, Uzbekistan☺️

*Minarets are towers installed in mosques and madrasas (theological schools) in the Islamic world.

It is a place where the adhan is called to announce the time of prayer.

《Kalta Minor Minaret》

After the death of Muhammad Amin Khan, who ordered its construction, construction was halted and it has remained as it is.

It was originally planned to be three times as tall!

Although it is unfinished, this minaret covered with blue tiles is rare and you won't see it anywhere else🤓I liked this minaret, which can be said to be one of the symbols of Khiva♪

It was lit up at night, showing a different look🍀
There was a map of the castle next to it😸
