Qutab Minar is one of the most interesting structures you will encounter as you make your way around the historic city of Delhi. The 239-foot tower (or minaret) was built as far back as 1193 and has withstood the passage of time as well as the elements, surviving to become the tallest minaret in the world. The greater Qutab complex contains other important historic structures including the adjacent Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque which was built at the same time as the minaret. Both structures are believed to have been built after the defeat of the last Hindu Kingdom by the first Muslim ruler of Delhi. Qutab Minar is essential viewing for anyone interested in ancient history, architecture, and religion. Qutab Minar
