Tomb and Mosque 		Bijapur - Corner minarets

Ali II Rauza

Corner minarets

The corner minarets of the Gol Gumbaz are simple, massive and elegant. Each of the seven arcaded stories have arched openings on each face with a projecting eave above. The minarets rise slightly above roof level and are topped by bulbous domes. The massive central dome of the Gumbaz however, dominates the setting.
