An archaeological park next to the Qutub Minar, with more than a hundred monuments scattered through the greenery across a thousand years of history. Highlights include the 13th-century tomb of sultan Balban — among India's earliest buildings with a true arch — the Jamali Kamali mosque and tomb with painted walls, stepwells, and the abandoned folly of Briton Thomas Metcalfe. Entry is free; come early for shaded paths, peacocks and few people.
