Dear ladies and gentlemen, be ready to find more about the tallest monument in India and that can be perfectly seen from almost any part of Delhi. The magic soaring tower is called Qutab Minar.

The image of this tower is synonymous to Delhi, you might enjoy it everywhere (on billboards, tatoos, vehicles, tea stalls …). Many tourists ask the same question: “Why is it so tall?” Because it was a victory tower, built in order to commemorate the winners.

The tower is a prefect example of Indo – Islamic Architecture and it is 72.5 meters high. Qutab Minar is surrounded by a rich green garden, attracting a lot of people. The tower is really majestic, the facades are very expensive, opulent and richly decorated with white marble and Arabic inscriptions.

But, the tower is not the only one attention-getter here. Why not visit a mosque near it, especially when it was the first mosque to be built in India. Then the richly decorated tomb of Iltutmish can draw your attention.

And, of course, don’t forget about the mysterious Iron Pillar. It is a pillar of exceptionally pure iron, taken from a Vishnu temple. This place is mesmerizing and it will definitely enchant you!

We were house-sitting for my cousin in Coevorden and had the use of their car. We drove all over The Netherlands. There is a parking lot at the entrance to the village. Just park and walk in. It's well worth the trip.
