A 15-metre brick tomb tower in the old town, finished in 1027 CE for a local Ghaznavid official. The cylindrical body is decorated with shallow vertical flutes and a continuous Kufic inscription in cut brick around the top; a low conical roof sits on top.
The Pir-e Alamdar is the earlier of two surviving 11th-century tomb towers in Damghan — the other, the slightly larger Chehel Dokhtaran, stands a few blocks away. Together they are among the best-dated early examples of a form that became standard across medieval Iran.
