1040 AD built
Ray was a capital city of the Seljuk Empire in the 11th century. During this time, the city of Ray was at its greatest expanse.
It had developed a great urban market that also benefited its neighboring regions, including the once small town of Tehran, and had become a remarkable center for silk weaving.
Commercial goods imported by traders via the Silk Road were brought into the bazaar of Ray.
One of the monuments that survives from this period is the 12th-century Tughrul Tower, a brick tower built in 1140 that is attributed to Tughril, the founder of the Seljuk Empire.
