The Qutab Minar is one of the main sights in Delhi, an early example of outstanding Muslem architecture.
Here, you are already at the feet of the majestic tower that you saw already from the beginning. The tower is not straight, its diameter is 15 meter at the base but only 2.5 at the top. It is divided into five storeys, which are all separated by a balcony. The lower storeys are made of red sandstone, the highest two of marble and sandstone. Furthermore, at several heights there is intricate Arabic calligraphy sculpted into the tower, delicately decorated. I felt a strong urge to climb the tower, but unfortunately it has been closed to the public ever since several people died when chaos struck in 1979.
