Monar Jonban
The Monar Jonban (Persian: منار جنبان, meaning shaking minarets), is a monument located in Isfahan, Iran. It was intended as a shrine, built over the grave of the Sufi ascetic Abdullah ibn Muhammad al-Karladani, known simply as Amu Abdullah Suqla. Construction on the building started in the era of the Mongol Ilkhanate rule, but it was finished during the Safavid era. The most notable feature of the building are the minarets, which both shake and sway when one of them is shook.
