The Minaret at Jam in Afghanistan was built in the 12th century. It stands alone in a remote valley surrounded by barren mountains. The tower is decorated with calligraphy and is accented with turquise ceramics. |

Residents of the area have so thoroughly plundered the valley that I doubt anything of significance remains...as far as I can recall, there were some archeologists working there prior to the Soviet invasion, but no serious attempt to dig since.
