Kalta Minor
Kalta Minor (meaning “Short Minaret”) is a famous unfinished minaret located in Khiva, Uzbekistan. It was begun in 1851 by Muhammad Amin Khan and was intended to become the tallest minaret in Central Asia. Construction stopped after the khan’s death, leaving it only about 29 meters high.
Despite being unfinished, Kalta Minor is known for its stunning turquoise and blue glazed tiles, making it one of Khiva’s most iconic landmarks.
