A minaret[a] is a type of tower typically built into or adjacent to mosques. Minarets are generally used to project the Muslim call to prayer (adhan) from a muezzin, but they also served as landmarks and symbols of Islam's presence.[2][3] They can have a variety of forms, from thick, squat towers to soaring, pencil-thin spires.[2][4]
