It is one of the UNESCO world heritage site having a height of 73 meter and an ancient construction. Basically it is divided into five major storeys build on one another having balconies of 15 m diameter each uniformly decreasing and reaches 2.5 meter at the top.  It is in the middle of Qutb complex, called so due to more than one such monument at the same place. The iron pillar is also there.

It is a combination of red stone, sand stone and marble. The wall is full of calligraphy of Quranic verse. At the time of victory the tower was not made alone but with a mosque adjacent to it and called Quwwat-ul-islam mosque giving the meaning of “the power of Islam” and is the first mosque of India.

According to some people the material had been brought from the temples that’s why the overall architecture is a complex of both Hindu and Muslim art. In some days the minar had been used to call for prayer “Azan”.
