Qutub Minar

Qutub Minar is one of the tallest minarets in the world and a famous historical site in Delhi. It was built many centuries ago by Qutub-ud-din Aibak and later completed by other rulers. The tower is made of red stone and has beautiful carvings of verses and patterns on its walls.

Qutub Minar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and thousands of tourists visit it every day to admire the amazing architecture. The area around the tower has many other ancient buildings and ruins, such as the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque and Iron Pillar, which still does not rust even after 1500 years — a mystery for many scientists.

The green lawns around the monument make it a pleasant place to walk, relax, and take pictures while learning about Delhi’s early history.
