The Sidi Bashir Mosque was built around 1452 and its main marvel — the curious flexible minarets — was once a tourist attraction recorded by every European visitor. The mosque itself was largely destroyed in the wars of 1753 and only the prayer-hall facade and the two slender minarets survive, marooned beside the railway tracks near Sarangpur Gate.
A second pair of similar shaking minarets stand at the Raj Bibi Mosque in the same neighbourhood, less famous but equally interesting. Both can be visited; neither can be climbed.
