It is located on the front side of the Muhammad Amin Khan madrasa and sometimes considered as part of it.

Muhammad Amin Khan even decided to build the tallest minaret in the world, surpassing the 73-meter Qutb Minar in India.

According to the Khiva historian and writer, the construction was not completed because Muhammad Amin Khan died in a battle near Sarakhs in 1855.

[3] The historian Mulla Olim Maxdum Hoji wrote about the construction of the minaret in his work “History of Turkestan”: After the madrasa was completed, Muhammad Amin Khan ordered to build the tallest minaret next to the madrasa.

[4]The minaret was built in front of the eyes of the Khiva poet, historian and statesman Muhammad Riza Ogahi.

On the occasion of the 2500th anniversary of Khiva (1996–97), the glazed tile inscriptions that fell from the upper part of Kalta Minor were completely restored by the founders of the “Hayot” joint-stock company and the “nasta’liq” writings in Persian by Ogahiy were restored.
