A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is Delhi’s tallest minaret, with a
height of about 240 feet. The monument was built in order to surpass the
beauty of Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan, way back in 1052 CE. The
monument has several ruins and relics dating back to centuries ago,
which together constitute the Qutub Complex. In the olden days, you
could climb the stairs and reach the top of the minaret for an awesome
view of the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, that has been disallowed
to protect the monument. However, despite that, it continues to be an
icon of Delhi’s landscape.Wednesday, October 28, 2015
