Shebeli Tower

.

Standing approximately 33 ft tall, the structure is a roofed octagon tomb of "Sheikh Shebeli", a Sufi mystic. A "sardāb" (basement) also exists under the structure.

The structure is a remnant of the Samanid era, making it from the 12th century, at the latest, and is similar in design to extant structures in Bukhara.

The structure recently underwent some preservations.
