Jeddah's Minarets: Skyward Architecture
Jeddah's minarets are prominent architectural landmarks that reflect the evolution of Islamic art and the city's urban history. They vary between historic minarets dating back to past centuries, such as the Shafi’i Minaret from the seventh Hijri century, and modern structures that coincided with Jeddah's urban growth. The minarets in the city incorporate locally sourced environmental materials like stone and wood, and they feature designs that blend functionality with aesthetic appeal. There is a visual contrast between the horizontal expansion of the buildings and the vertical height of the minarets. Over time, the shapes of the minarets have evolved, becoming a visual symbol that distinguishes the city—combining heritage and modernity. They maintain their position as icons that merge history, identity, and beauty in Jeddah's skyline.
