Qutb ComplexA magnificent complex displaying a wide array of heritage structures and buildings at Mehrauli in Delhi. Famous for the Qutb Minar, which is a 73 metre tall tapering tower, constructed by and named after Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the first ruler of the Delhi Sultanate in Northern India. The massive tower whose construction started in 1192 CE has since been added upon and repaired by several rulers, and till this date stands in excellent condition. The tower along with the mosque complex, has been built and added upon by several successors of Qutab-ud-din Aibak, with the plan of an even taller Alai Minar, which was never realised into completion.One of the most visited heritage sites in India, the Qutb Complex has (since 1993) been a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
