Qutb complex

The Qutb complex is an array of monuments and buildings in Delhi, India, the most famous of which is the Qutb Minar. This complex was first begun by Qutb ud din Aibak, the first ruler of the Slave Dynasty, in his new city called the Qila-Rai-Pithora near Prithivraj Chauhan's older city. The complex was added to by many subsequent rulers, including Iltutmish and Ala ud din Khilji as well as the British.

Apart from the Qutb Minar, the other important buildings in the complex are the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, the Alai Darwaza and the Alai Minar.
