Скачать или смотреть Chor Minar or 'Tower of Thieves', a 13th-century minaret in Delhi

Situated in the posh area of Hauz Khas, this unique minaret was built in the 13th century by the barbarian ruler Alauddin Khilji. Amidst lush greenery, the tower stands right in the centre of a platform, with arched recesses. On the east, a passage paves way to a spiral staircase that leads to the top. The most astonishing feature of this structure is the presence of around 225 holes in the wall. Legend has it that the heads of the slaughtered thieves that were caught under Alauddin Khilji’s rule were placed in each hole for public view. In case the heads exceeded the number of holes, the less important heads were piled in a pyramid outside the tower.
