The article considers all the currently known minarets of the Golden Horde. Two of the minarets are preserved in full, two are known from drawings and photographs. Of the other minarets, only the bases are preserved. Analysis of the buildings and the architectural details shows that the nearest architectural analogies can be found in Seljuk Asia Minor and the Transcaucasia, thus corroborating the already existing evidence that the cultures of Asia Minor and Transcaucasia were an important factor in the evolution of cult architecture in the Golden Horde.
