What kind of minarets built in your country ??? ================== Minarets Distinctive architectural features of any mosque (Muslim place of worship), minarets are tall, graceful spires with roofs sporting rod-shaped or concave crowns. They are usually either free-standing or much taller than any surrounding support structure.

Later, minarets came to provide a vantage point from which the muezzin makes his five-times-daily call to prayer for the faithful. —
