Abdul Wakil Khan monument (Kabul)

Afghanistan / Kabul / Kabul
 monument, interesting place
The Minar-i-Abdul Wakil Khan stands in the center of Deh-Mazang Circle, at the stoplight in front of the zoo. It was erected by King Nadir Shah to the memory of this Nuristani general who was killed in the Koh Daman while fighting against followers of Bacha Saqao. On the right, the houses of Deh Mazang cling to the steep slopes of Asmai above the Kabul Traffic offices standing in front of Deh Mazang Prison. Each year new houses are added, rising further and further toward the summit, from which spectacular views of the Chahrdeh Valley reward one for the arduous ascent.
