The tallest stone tower in Delhi India, the Qutub Minar was built by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the viceroy of Mohammed Ghori in 1192. It was built to celebrate Ghori's victory over the Rajputs. Inside the complex is the famous Iron Pillar that has been for millennia without oxidation, Quwwat-ul-Islam, the first mosque built in India, and the Alai Darwaza, the entrance to the complex erected by Alauddin Khilji.

The first floor of the Qutb Minar was completed in the life of Qutb-ud-din. His son-in-law and successor, Iltumush, added the next three floors.
