Brother & sister running up to climb Samarra's Malwiya Minaret. The spiraling tower is the #minaret of the Great Mosque of Samarra, once the largest mosque in the world. In 2007, UNESCO named Samarra one of its World Heritage Sites. #Samarra #Iraq

اخوان يجريان لتسلق المئدنة الملوية في سامراء. يعد البرج الملتوي هو #منارة المسجد الكبير في سامراء والذي كان في يوم ما أكبر مسجد في العالم. في عام 2007، سجلت اليونسكو سامراء احد مواقعها للتراث العالمي. #سامراء #العراق

One of the most beautiful towers in the world can be found in Iraq. It is called Malwiya, which means ‘twisted’ or ‘snail house’. It is the minaret of the Great Mosque of the city of Samarra. When it was built (848-852) it was the largest mosque in the world. Of the mosque itself only the outer walls remain, but the minaret still towers over the area. It is 52 meters high and the most spectacular feature is its stairway that spirals all the way up. The Malwiya was an inspiration for many other minarets and its influence may have reached as far as Northern Europe. The paintings of the Tower of Babel by Pieter Brueghel could very well have been based on drawings of, or stories about the Malwiya.
