    (Translated by Google) One of the famous minarets of Isfahan, which has a general similarity with the minaret of Ali Mosque, is Saraban minaret. The Saraban minaret is built in three floors and without a base and dates back to the 6th century of Hijri. The height of the minaret is 54 meters. The Sarban minaret is decorated with raised Chinese bricks, as well as carved bricks and mosaic tiles in the Kufi style of Rehan.  The three inscriptions in the Sarban minaret are written in Kufic script. These inscriptions have been exposed to many damages in such a way that atmospheric factors such as cold and heat and sunlight had a great effect on them. Anyway, the contents of the first inscription made with blue tiles include religious expressions.  In the second inscription, which is also decorated with blue tiles, there is verse 33 of Surah Al-Fashlat. The third inscription is made in square Kufi script with carved bricks on a background of blue tiles and it mentions the Prophet (PBUH) and the Rashidun Caliphs. This minaret has no history, but due to its immense similarity with the minaret of Sin Mosque in terms of decorations, as well as in terms of architecture and the way of writing inscriptions, the year of its construction is between 525 and 550 AH. (Original) يكي از مناره هاي مشهور اصفهان كه شباهت كلي با مناره مسجد علي دارد مناره ساربان است. مناره ساربان در سه طبقه و بدون پايه ساخته شده و مربوط به قرن ششم هجری است. ارتفاع مناره ۵۴ متر است . مناره ساربان با آجر چيني برجسته و همچنين آجرهاي تراشيده و كاشيكاري معرق به سبك خط كوفي ريحان تزئين شده است.  سه كتيبه موجود در مناره ساربان با خط كوفي نوشته شده اند. اين كتيبه ها در معرض آسیب های فراوان قرار گرفته به گونه ای که عوامل جوي مانند سرما و گرما و تابش آفتاب اثر بسيار بر روي آن ها گذاشته بودند. به هر حال مفاد كتيبه اول كه با كاشي هاي آبي رنگ ساخته شده شامل عبارات مذهبي است.  در دومين كتيبه كه آن نيز به كاشي آبي مزين است، آيه ۳۳ از سوره فصلت آمده است. سومين كتيبه به خط كوفي مربع با آجر تراشيده بر زمينه اي از كاشي هاي آبي ساخته شده و در آن از پيامبر (ص) و خلفاي راشدين ياد شده است. اين مناره تاريخ ندارد اما به دليل شباهت بي اندازه آن با مناره مسجد سين از نظر تزئينات و همچنين از لحاظ معماري و نحوه نگارش كتيبه ها سال ساخت آن بين سالهاي ۵۲۵ تا ۵۵۰ هجري قمري است.

    A brick made minarets in old town of beautiful Isfahan. There is park near it and you can’t go in side the minaret. dates back to the Seljuq era. The Sarban minaret is located in the north of Jouybareh district. It seems that there was a mosque beside this minaret in the past, but it does not exist any more. The minaret consists of seven different parts. The first part has brick bolster work

    Among the minarets of the old Jobareh area of ​​Isfahan, which are mainly related to the Ilkhanid or Seljuk period, they are now located in the middle of the street or next to people's houses... they are worth seeing.

    Minarets are of great importance in Isfahan, minarets are considered as observation towers, and of course observation was only one use of this minaret, the minaret was also used to say the call to prayer, they are very magnificent, and sightseeing by the minarets It gives a good feeling of turning the pages of history
