One of our goals this year is to get out more. Sunday morning is a great time to get out in Delhi since it is the time of the week when there is the least traffic. This morning we decided to head out to the Qutab Minar complex.
The Qutab Minar was built in 1192 and the last story was completed almost 200 years later. It was originally constructed as an Islamic Monument. The structure stands 237.8 feet tall (pretty freakin' big).
The is the reason Drew really wanted to go - The Iron Pillar of Delhi. Anything we have left outside that is metal has rusted. This pillar was built 1600 years ago and only has a little bit of rust on it. Cool stuff.
This was a second Minar that was supposed to be twice the size of the original but, the dude died ...
