Each storey of the tower has a projected balcony surrounding the minaret.
The height of the Qutub Minar is a 73-metre tall tapering tower of five storeys, with a 14.3 metres base diameter, reducing to 2.7 metres at the top of the peak. It contains a spiral staircase of 379 steps.
the lower part is cylindrical shape and gradually goes conical shape on upper part. Inside the Qutub Minar Complex, there is a 7 m-high iron pillar a rust-resistant iron column that not only attracts tourists but also draws attention of archaeologists and materials scientists.
At the foot of the tower is the Quwat ul Islam Mosque. The first three storeys are built using red sand stone while upper two storeys are made of marble and stone which is very fine carved .If you had seen from a distance, you could not see the workmanship of this, because it is closed to you, it looks very beautiful. The workmanship of this goes to mind.
It Built as a Victory Tower, to celebrate the victory of muhamad gouri over the Rajput king, pritviraj chuhan, in 1192 AD . It is so beautiful and person who comes in Delhi always go to see its beauty. The verses of the Qur'an are written on its walls. If you shout at the peak of the Qutub minar, then voice will not be heard down.
Hindus believe that the construction of Qutub minar was done in consultation with one of the Naveratanas of Vikramaditya varahmihir. Varahmihir was famous astrologer and for the study of celestial bodies they constructed this temple. The name of this place remained in meharawali due to his existence, which has become a Mehrouli. varahmihir inspired vikramaditya to construction 
to forecast rain and famine. 
It is believe that the Qutub-din-Aibak had broken 27 Hindu temple to built the Qutub minar, but there is no proof of this, He destroy the 27 Temple but did not written proof on rock inscription.
.
Two reason would have been named Qutub minar the first reason could be that Qutub-din-Aibak started it and second reason is that there was great saint in Baghdad, whose name was Qutbdin bakhtiar kaki and he come India Iitutmish respected him very much It may be because of this, that the name of Qutub minar was kept.
Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, to the north-east of minar was built by Qutub-ud-Din Aibak in A.D. 1198. It is the earliest extant - mosque built by the Delhi Sultans.
