Bab al-Ashbat is a minaret built by the Mamluks in 1367. It is composed of a cylindrical stone shaft (of Ottoman construction), rising from a rectangular base on top of a triangular transition zone.^[2] The shaft narrows above the muezzin's balcony, and is dotted with circular windows,^[3] ending with a bulbous dome. The dome was reconstructed after the 1927 Jericho earthquake.^[2]
