Which is the Oldest Monument in Delhi? - 1 minute read


The Qutub Minar, the oldest standing monument in Delhi, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that dates back to the late 12th century. Commissioned by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the founder of the Delhi Sultanate, the construction of this magnificent minaret was completed by his successor, Iltutmish. Standing at a staggering height of 73 meters, the Qutub Minar is made of red sandstone and marble, featuring intricate carvings and verses from the Quran.


The tower is part of the Qutub Complex, which also houses several other historically significant structures, including the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, Alai Darwaza, and the Iron Pillar of Delhi. The complex reflects the rich history and architectural prowess of the early Islamic rulers in India.
