-------------------------------
Ghazni (?azni, Ghazna; Persian: ????) is a city in eastern Afghanistan, situated on a
plateau at 7280 feet (2219 m) above sea level. It lies on the road between Kandahar
and Kabul at 68 18 E. long., 33 44 N. lat. Ghazni is the capital of the Ghazni province.
Under the name Ghazna, it was the capital of the Ghaznavid Empire, ruled by the
Ghaznavid Sultans, after the fall of the Empire of the Nasher-Khans.
Tombs of many poets and scientists are located in Ghazni, for example the Tomb of Al
Biruni. The only ruins in Old Ghazni retaining a semblance of architectural form are two
towers, about 43 m (140 ft) high and some 365 m (1,200 ft) apart. According to
inscriptions, the towers were constructed by the Mahmud of Ghazni and his son.
Ghazni is also famous for its minarets built on a stellar plan. They date from the middle
of the twelfth century and are the surviving element of the mosque of Bahramshah.
Their sides are decorated with geometric patterns. Upper sections of the minarets have
been damaged or destroyed.
