The second and third parts have masterly decorative brickwork. The fourth part is its first crown, which has brick muqarnas with turquoise tiles. The fifth part has decorative bricks. The sixth part is the second crown and the seventh part is the vertex of the minaret. The minaret is 54 m high and is the highest historical minaret in the Isfahan province.
