Qutub Minar is a tower that stands tall in the heart of Delhi. It was built by the first Muslim ruler of Delhi and is believed to be one of the tallest brick minarets in the world. The tower is 73 meters high and made of red sandstone and marble.
The towering minaret was built with red sandstone and marble and had a spiral staircase made of red sandstone on its exterior. The top floor contains chambers for prayer, as well as a mosque on the second floor. At each corner of the tower were two small towers called guldaste that guards used to keep watch from above; these have since been removed from the structure due to safety concerns.
The Qutub Minar is considered one of Delhi’s most important landmarks because it provides insight into both Islamic architecture and medieval Indian history; additionally, it has been used as an inspiration by many other artists throughout history, including Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal based off this design.
