What travellers are saying
- Sightsee48388707531New Delhi, India3 contributionsWe visited this historic site with our family while in Delhi, and it was truly remarkable. The place holds great historical significance, showcasing ancient and robust architecture in its buildings, tombs, and gates. The vast campus requires at least an hour to explore fully, offering a vibrant atmosphere and picturesque surroundings. At the entrance, we spotted playful squirrels, adding to the charm of the visit. We had a wonderful time, capturing memories through photos and immersing ourselves in the beauty of the site.Written 27 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia9,017 contributionsThe ruins of the mosque are located adjacent the Qutab Minar. The mosque was constructed from the ruins of Hindu and Jain Temples that had been destroyed by the Mughal conquerors. It was the first mosque built in Delhi after the Islamic conquest The mosque was built on a raised courtyard and later surrounded by pillared cloisters. The building was increased in size until it eventually doubled in area during the reign of Alauddin Khalji. The parts of the building that are still standing showcase corbelled arches, floral motifs, and geometric patterns of the Islamic style.Written 10 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK18,135 contributionsAlso included in the Qutub Minar complex is a unique iron pillar. This iron pillar bears a Sanskrit inscription which says that it was erected in memory of a great king named Chandra. This king is now believed to be Chandragupta II, which is why the pillar is also known as the Iron Pillar of Chandragupta. What makes this pillar unique is that, no matter the elements it has already weathered, it has not rusted. Again, this is another structure in the Qutub Complex which is well worth seeking out.Written 20 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JoyBoseBengaluru, India429 contributionsIt's an unfinished minar but a much wider scale and circumference than qutub minar. Only one floor was completed. One can only guess by looking at it, how big it would have been. It's a massive stone structure.Written 24 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Geoff HSissinghurst, UK18,135 contributionsStanding in the Qutub Minar complex is the tomb of Shamsu'd-Din Iltutmish, Shamsu'd-Din Iltutmish was the son-in-law of Qutbu'd-Din Aiback (the first sultan of Delhi who completed the construction of the Qutub Minar up to the first story) and he added the three further storeys of the Qutub Minar. Shamsu'd-Din Iltutmish built his tomb before his death and, while it now stands in the open air, it was originally under a dome. While you are visiting the Qutub Minar it is worth seeking out this unusual tomb.Written 20 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The mosque, built in grey Delhi quartzite and red sandstone, is a beautiful but stark one, its architecture very recognizably early Mughal (its bears a resemblance to the Qila-e-Kohna Mosque at Purana Qila, which, like this one, dates approximately to Humayun’s period). The mosque has some lovely (though dusty, and strewn with pigeon feathers) carved arches and mihrabs inside. The mosque is no longer in use, so you need not take off your shoes to enter. The mosque takes its common name from the person buried in the tomb next door, ‘Jamaali’, a much-revered mystic and poet of the era. The ‘kamaali’ of the name is debated: it may refer to a companion of Jamaali’s, or may even be a nonsensical add-on to the mystic’s name, not signifying anything or anyone concrete.
The tomb of Jamaali-Kamaali stands in a large enclosure that is kept locked. I have been lucky enough to have visited this several times many years ago, when a caretaker could usually be found to open it and let visitors (always accompanied by the caretaker) inside the tomb. If you are able to get the tomb unlocked, do have a look - the interior of the tiny tomb is covered with exquisite and very intricate painting, in patterns of red and blues.Written 1 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The mausoleum looks deceptively like multi-storeyed building, a common feature of the Lodhi Dynasty. The sides of the building are latticeworks and it’s possible to peer inside to see the marble cenotaph. It’s a cute little building and looks interesting as it’s right in the line of sight of the more famous tower in the background. One of the more interesting structures to see inside the complex.Written 28 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rohanpillai1United States389 contributionsLocated inside a fort a little outside of Delhi. The tomb of such a historic man who ruled Delhi 700 years ago is now of little significance today. Still worth visiting once to have a look at the architecture.Written 4 March 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
