Mehrauli Archaeological Park

Address: Anuvrat Marg Opposite Qutub Minar Metro Station, New Delhi 110030 India

 

 

Located right beside the Qutub Minar is an archaeological site scattered with the relics of tombs, mosques and British-era follies. The park usually flies under the radar, as tourists flock to the next-door World Heritage Site instead. With monuments from the Delhi Sultanate, the Mughal and the British eras, the park traces a timeline of Delhi’s history. Many of the structures are now in ruins, but it’s clear from the carved cenotaphs and tiled domes that the architecture was once impressive. The Rajon ki Baoli, a medieval stepwell with arched niches, remains a striking location for photos.
