| Summary |
The twelfth-century minaret of Djam is one of Afghanistan's most celebrated treasures, a magnificent symbol of the powerful Ghorid Empire that once stretched from Iran to India. The second tallest brick minaret in the world, Djam lies in the heart of central Afghanistan's wild Ghor Province. Surrounded by 2,000-metre-high mountains and by the remains of what many beleive to have been the lost city of Turquoise Mountain - one of the greatest cities of the Middle ages - Djam is, even today, one of the most inaccessible and remote places in Afghanistan. |
