During many centuries, Gonbad-e Kabus has always been the tallest brick tower in the world and due to this feature, it was registered as a world heritage site by UNESCO. Gonbad-e Kabus dates back to over a thousand years ago and is geographically located in a city called Gorgan in Iran so if you are keen on visiting this magnificent historical monument, our suggestion to you is to experience a tour to Iran operated by Alaedin Travel which adds to the joy. The structure includes a decagon crowned with a conic roof, it is about 72 meters tall including the platform. The entrance to Gonbad-e Kabus is as high as 55 meters and as wide as 5 meters. It seems that there used to be a cellar on the ground which still there are some signs of it. Those who like stunning Iranian art could enjoy Muqarnas on the way to enter which is one of the first examples of this art. Last but not least, an inscription in Kufic script on the brick wall signifies the date of the construction and the burial of Qabus Ibn Voshmgir in this fabulous masterpiece.
