ABOUT
Think Delhi and you’re probably thinking about Mughal emperors. However, the Pre-Mughal dynasties also left behind a mark on the scene of architecture and a the Qutub Minar complex stands tall as an evidence of this. The most outstanding structure here is the Qutub Minar, a huge brick minaret, the tallest of its kind in the world. Built by Qutub ud din Aibak and Iltutmish, it’s a pity that visitors are not allowed to climb the stairs inside the minaret, which lead right to the top of the structure to a height of some 72 metres. At the base of the minar is the Quwwat-ul-Islam Masjid. Another curiosity-inducing piece of architecture here is the Iron Pillar. This 7 metre high pillar has withstood elements of nature over centuries and has an interesting legend behind it.

The legend goes that if you can stand with your back to the pillar and hold both your hands from behind your back, your wish will be granted.
The tickets for the monument are available on the other side of the road.
