The Qutub Minar
The Qutub Minar is a striking 16x16 landmark structure inspired by the iconic minaret located in Delhi, India. Recognized as one of the tallest brick minarets in the world, the real-life Qutub Minar is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a masterpiece of Indo-Islamic architecture. In TheoTown or other city-building simulations, this monument adds cultural depth, architectural variety, and historical significance to any urban layout.
Constructed in the early 13th century by Qutb-ud-din Aibak and later expanded by his successors, the Qutub Minar stands as a symbol of the Delhi Sultanate’s legacy. Its original purpose was both spiritual and ceremonial, serving as a minaret for the adjacent Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque.
In-game, the Qutub Minar is recreated as a tall, tapering stone tower with intricate balconies, ornamental carvings, and detailed surface textures that reflect the sandstone and marble patterns of the original monument. The base features an open courtyard, ideal for visual placement in plazas, parks, or cultural districts.
