Beautiful calligraphy of the magnificent tower adorns the adjacent edifices. The Minar rises over 230 feet and can be ascended by a circular stairway for a breathtaking view.

In the year 1199, Qutb-ud-din Aibak started to work on the construction of this Minar and was completed by his successors after his death. This ancient monument celebrates the advent of Muslim dominance in Delhi.

While touring this tourist destination in Delhi you can see the first mosque of India, right at the feet of the Qutab Minar. It was built using building material from Hindu temples. Although many parts of the mosque are missing or in bad shape, you can still see marvelously sculpted ceilings, columns, and capitals. In the central square, there is an iron pillar, unfortunately closed by a low fence.
