The
Zeyn od-Din minaret is a historical
minaret in
Kashan,
Iran. The founder of the minaret, Khaje Zeyn od-Din, was one of the dignitaries of the
Timurid era in the 15th century. He also built a
khanqah beside the minaret. It seems that minaret was originally 47 m high, but more than half of it was destroyed in 1931 by the decision of the governor and
mayor of Kashan. Strong
earthquakes during the centuries made the minaret lean.
