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.
