Delhi India

Qutub Minar in Delhi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and stands as a significant example of Indo-Islamic architecture. This towering minaret, which reaches a height of 73 meters, was constructed in the early 13th century by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, with further developments by subsequent rulers. Visitors can admire its intricately carved sandstone surfaces that depict verses from the Quran. The site also includes other historical structures like the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque and the Iron Pillar of Delhi.

The Qutub Minar opening hours are from sunrise to sunset, making it accessible for visitors throughout the day. It is a popular destination for both tourists and locals due to its historical importance and architectural beauty. There is an entry fee for visitors, with different rates for Indian citizens and foreign nationals. Accessibility is generally good, with public transportation options available nearby.
