Shahr-e Gholghola
Shahr-e Gholghola or Gholghola City is an archaeological site located near the town of Bamyan, Afghanistan.
The Siege of Bamyan took place here in 1221 during the Mongol pursuit of Jalal ad-Din Mingburnu, the last ruler of the Khwarezmian Empire. Mutukan, son of Chagatai Khan and favourite grandson of Genghis Khan, was killed in battle by an arrow from the besieged walls, which led Genghis to massacre the population of the city and its surrounding region.
