Qutub Minar, Delhi

Rising prominently in Delhi, Qutub Minar is one of the most impressive examples of Indo-Islamic architecture. Built in 1193 by Qutb-ud-din Aibak and later completed by his successors, this UNESCO World Heritage Site in India is 73 meters in height, making it the tallest brick minaret in the world.

The Qutub Complex includes the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque and the Iron Pillar, which has not rusted for over 1,600 years. The minaret features five unique stories, decorated with detailed carvings and Quranic verses that showcase the skill of medieval artisans.

Illuminations in the evening create a magical atmosphere, making it popular for photography and cultural walks. This historic site is a must-see for anyone planning a heritage tour in India.
