Shamkir minaret
Italy
The Shamkir minaret, or the Shamkir tower, also known as the “Shamkhor pillar”, was a tower or minaret located near Shamkir (now a city in Azerbaijan). The view of the tower built at the end of the 11th century is known from the detailed written description of N. Florovsky, who visited the medieval
settlement of Shamkir in the first half of the 19th century, as well as from the paintings of such artists as Grigory Gagarin and Frédéric DuBois de Montperreux.
