Mapa de Qutub Minar / Lugar

Rising 73 meters above the southern outskirts of Delhi, Qutub Minar is a masterpiece of Indo-Islamic architecture and a UNESCO World Heritage Site that draws visitors with its intricately carved sandstone walls and five distinct storeys. Built in 1193 by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, it stands as a symbol of the Delhi Sultanate’s early power and spiritual ambition. The surrounding Qutub Complex includes the ruins of Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque and the enigmatic Iron Pillar, famed for its rust-resistant composition. Despite partial damage from earthquakes, restorations by rulers like Firoz Shah Tughlaq have preserved its grandeur. Located near other key landmarks such as Mehrauli Archaeological Park, it offers a compelling glimpse into medieval India’s architectural evolution and historical depth.
