The Historic red tower of Delhi

Delhi’s Qutub Minar, at 72.5 meters or 238 feet tall, is one of the tallest tower in India. Built as a monument in the early 13th century of red sandstone and marble. The surrounding complex houses the tombs, a madrassa, and an iron pillar that is mysteriously resistant to corrosion, even after being exposed to the natural elements for centuries. Until 1981, visitors were able to climb the 379 stairs to the top of Qutub Minar, but the interior is now closed.#India #trip #travel #History #newdelhi
