Qutab-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, commenced the construction of the Qutab Minar in 1200 AD, but could only finish the basement. His successor, Iltutmush, added three more storeys, and in 1368, Firoz Shah Tughlak constructed the fifth and the last storey.

It was built as a 73 meter high Vijay Minar by Qutubuddin Aibak in 1193, immediately after the defeat of the last Hindu ruler of Delhi. This building has five floors.
