From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The Qutb Minar is one of the many monuments in the Qutb complex in Delhi, India. This complex of buildings was first begun by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty, in his new city called the Qila- Rai- Pithora near Prithivraj Chauhan's older city. The complex was added to by many subsequent rulers, including Iltutmish and Ala-ud-in Khilji as well as the British.
Apart from the Qutb Minar, the other important buildings in the complex are the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, the Alai Darwaza and the Alai Minar.
