Qutab Minar

Step into history and gaze upon Delhi’s iconic Qutub Minar. This UNESCO World Heritage Site isn't just a monument; it's a journey through time. Standing at 72.5 meters (237.8 feet), this masterpiece is the tallest masonry tower in India. The monument, constructed from red and buff sandstone in the 12th century, has withstood the test of time. Marvel at its intricate carvings, design, projecting balconies, and staggering height—which has drawn people from around the globe.

Qutub Minar (also spelt as Qutb Minar or Qutab Minar) was built by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, founder of the Delhi Sultanate. It stands tall as a ‘victory tower’ and is part of the sprawling Qutub Complex, an archaeological treasure trove which lies at Lal Kot, Delhi's oldest fortified city founded by the Tomar Rajputs. Come and explore this magnificent piece of history and ancient craftsmanship!
