The Rahrovan minaret is located 6 km northeast of Isfahan. The minaret is 30 m high. It dates back to the Seljuq era and has almost kept its original shape, but its inscriptions has been damaged severely. It is the fourth oldest minaret in Isfahan province after Ali minaret, Sarban minaret and Ziyar minaret. Its decorations are simple, featuring a stripe of rhombic shapes around the minaret, in which the names of Mohammad and Ali are repeated.[1]
