Manar Jomban alias Shaking Minarets or The Swinging Minarets, 6 km west of the city Esfagan. It is a mausoleum, a tomb entitled to Amu Abdullah Ibn Muhammad Ibn Mahmoud, a mystic who died in 1316 AD The roof is crowned by pair of minarets, not too tall, about 10m apart from each other, but the interesting thing is when the person enter the one of the minarets and start to manually shake it, the other one starts to shake simultaneously. The tomb was built in 1316, the minarets were added later by architect Baha al-Din al-Amili (also known as Shaykh Bahai)
