Qutb Minar and its Monuments, Delhi
12th Century


Qutb Minar and its surrounded Monuments, Delhi, located to the south of Delhi, is a complex with the Qutb Minar as the centre piece, which is a red sandstone tower of 72.5 metres (238 ft) height with a base of 14.32 metres (47.0 ft) reducing to 2.75 metres (9.0 ft) diameter at the top. It was built in the beginning of the 13th century by Qutb-ud-din Aybak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty.   The complex was added to by many subsequent rulers, including Iltutmish and Ala ud din Khilji as well as Mughals. The most famous monument situated in the complex is the Qutub Minar; other important constructions in the complex are the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, the Ala-I-Darwaza, the Alai Minar and the iron pillar. It also underwent several renovations by subsequent Mughal rulers, following damage to the structures due to lightning. It was inscribed under the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1993 under category iv for its unique representation of the Islamic architectural and artistic excellence.
