World Heritage Committee Description:

The 65m-tall Minaret of Jam is a graceful, soaring structure, dating back to the 12th century. Covered in elaborate brickwork with a blue tile inscription at the top, it is noteworthy for the quality of its architecture and decoration, which represent the culmination of an architectural and artistic tradition in this region. Its impact is heightened by its dramatic setting, a deep river valley between towering mountains in the heart of the Ghur province.
65米高的贾姆宣礼塔肃穆庄严，高耸入云，其历史起源于公元12世纪。贾姆宣礼塔外砌烧制精巧的砖石，顶部饰有蓝色釉面的琉璃瓦铭刻，建筑工艺高超，装饰精美，代表了该地区建筑和艺术的最高水平。宣礼塔依山傍水，身处古尔省心脏位置，地理环境优美，为之平添几分魅力。贾姆宣礼塔从中西部阿富汗的狭窄河谷中拔地而起，已经被《列入世界遗产名录》。这座塔，建造精美，是世界上第二高的宣礼塔，在穆斯林的文明发展史和建筑发展史上占有重要地位。
