Tughrul Tower
Tughrul Tower is located in Ray City (Shahr-e Ray) and is on the East side of Ibn Babawayh Cemetery. This tower remains from the Seljuq Dynasty. Tughrul Tower is 20 meters high. Some experts believe that it looks like the clock hands.
By observing the sunlight shining on the jags of the tower one could tell the time.
Tughrul Tower was repaired in 1301 AH and at the end of the 35th anniversary of the reign of Nasser al-Din Shah. There was a marbled signboard placed on the entrance of this tower. This renovation helped in saving this old monument but the delicate works of the previous constructors and the Kufic inscriptions were destroyed.
After the Islamic revolution in Iran, this tower was abandoned for twenty years and after that it was renovated again. This renovation started in 1998 and ended in 2000. Currently the monument is under repair again and there will be a cultural center, a library, a museum and a restaurant added to the complex.
