The Kharanaq Minaret, located in Ardakan County in Iran, is a 15-meter-high brick structure built during the Seljuk era and later modified in the Qajar period. Constructed from brick and mortar with wooden elements, this minaret and watchtower is distinguished by its oscillating movement—a phenomenon clearly visible to visitors and a primary draw for tourism to the site. Designated as Iranian National Heritage, it predates the construction of the Great Mosque at Kharanaq and exemplifies the architectural traditions of medieval Islamic Iran.
