Isfahan’s Janban Minar is one of the amazing architectural works in Isfahan, and some foreign tourists have published their opinions and experiences on Google after visiting it.
The minaret is considered one of the elements of Iranian and Islamic architecture, and many historical buildings and mosques of Iran have remembered beautiful minarets. Many of these architectural elements, despite being strong enough, are designed to withstand shock and vibration and actually move in place. One of these historical minarets is Isfahan’s Janban minarets. This historical building, which was built in the Ilkhanid period, is the burial place of one of the mystics of Isfahan city and today it is known as a prominent example of Jinban minarets in Iran. Many tourists visit this tomb and its unique minarets every year. A number of foreign tourists who have visited Minarjanban have shared their experiences with Google users.
1. Huang John from China
A very interesting attraction! Due to the long years of construction, there are gaps in the buildings; So when the minaret on the right shakes, the minaret on the other side also shakes.
2. Juris Krastiņš from Latvia
A unique and unrepeatable work of ancient masters! Even the most brilliant minds of science have not yet provided a reliable explanation of how this effect works. This building has been well preserved over the centuries.
3. Bruno Grasso from Italy
The worst attraction among the attractions we visited in Isfahan tour. 2,000,000 rials (five euros) per person at the current rate, to see the unstable minarets that sway (and collapse sooner or later) if you push them with a certain force. Not beautiful, not attractive and not historical! Nothing at all! I should add that they asked us 150,000 rials for tea in the internal cafe! Real theft! Many guides will take you there to some extent to spend money! partly because it is near the Zoroastrian fire temple; But personally, I prefer to leave it alone.
4. Mohammad Al-Saadi from Iraq
One of the beautiful places that can be added to the list of tourism programs in Isfahan. This place consists of two minarets and they are designed in such a way that if one of them is moved by a certain force, the second one will move automatically.
5. Antonio Pistore from Italy
This is one of the most famous and curious attractions of Isfahan. This small mosque, located just outside the city, attracts many local tourists; But most importantly, this building attracts foreign tourists due to the kinetic property of the minarets; Of course, the entrance fee for foreigners is much higher than the price for local tourists.
6. Marcin Madej from Poland
I give a one-star rating because compared to other places of interest in Isfahan, this one is a complete waste of time. I recommend it just to pass the time. Before going there, check what time the show is on.
