This general view shows minarets in Hera

This general view shows minarets in Herat on August 1, 2008. The five remaining minarets, out of an original number of nine, are located in the musalla (place for praying) complex, designed and built in 1417 under Timurid (1370-1507) Queen Gawhar Shad. Most of the buildings in this complex were purposely demolished under the direction of British troops in 1885 when a Russian attack on Herat was feared, and three of the nine minarets were subsequently downed by earthquakes in 1931 and 1951.
