It features one of the earliest and most prominent examples of Indian-Islamic architecture.
And the area around it is filled with ancient and medieval structures and ruins known as Qutub Complex.
The Qutub Minaret was built in 1193 and added on to in 1286 and then again in 1368.
When you consider the work and craftmanship that went into building these awe-inspiring complexes ...
it's no wonder it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
If you would understand anything, observe its beginning and its development.

I cannot imagine standing in front of such beauty. These pictures are amazing, seeing in person must be breathtaking. Welcome to the lovely Lillian, what a doll. This is the little one for which you were crocheting. Blessings to all. Have a wonderful day and weekend.
Amazing architecture, Tammy. Great photos. Did you see the movie "Eat, Pray, Love?" I want to thank you for your visits and comments to my blog. Always love to see you have stopped by. Susan
This is an amazing post Tammy. The archicture is gorgeous and the quote is so true and this proves it. I'm sure it was awesome in real. Very nice picture of you and your family. Diane
Hello Tammy,
Thanks for the comment on my post. Moving to a new place is an adventure, but often uncomfortable. I know that friends will be made, but it does take a long time.
I've been wandering through your blog this morning. You live in an amazing part of the world and are close to enough to travel to exotic locations most of us only dream of. I really love history and those old ruins you show are just beautiful to me.
I hope your weekend is going well.

I am just in awe--everything is such a treat to see.
Sending hugs across the miles,
Cindy

Beautiful! makes you think and question a lot of things, doesn't it?
Thanks for sharing!!!

You are so fortunate to be able to travel so much. I am so glad that my parents were able to take us to so many places when I was a child. I don't remember everything, but I do remember India and the snake charmers, the colours and the smells. Living in Kenya we had a large number of different cultures around us, so no one was ever "strange" to us...your boys are lucky too!!! :) :)
Great photos Tammy.....have a good weekend my dear!!

The buildings and monuments in your pictures are just amazing. I spent the morning with Omar and the boys at the Islamic Museum of Art here in Doha. It was amazing, and had free admission to boot. It certainly gives you an appreciation for the art created. The buildings you showed us today give me that same feeling of awe. How wonderful. Your camera was certainly putting in some overtime over the last few days. Love the pictures and stories!!
Love, Renee
