Delhi : Ala-ud-din Khilji's tomb and madrasa in Qutub Complex
Ala-ud-din Khilji Tomb and Madrasa is located in the Qutub Complex, which is located near the Mehrauli Archaeological Park on the Sri Aurobindo Marg, the closest Metro station being Qutub Minar.
Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji initially known as Ali Gurshap was the second ruler of Khilji dynasty. He was one of the most powerful rulers who ruled between 1296 AD to 1316 AD. His tomb was constructed near the madrasa aka educational centre in 1316.
The tomb was constructed by his loyal Nobles.
The madrasa is a series of rooms, where students used to study Islam, sadly they are in ruins now, the roofs of which collapsed a long time ago.
