What does this number measure?
UNESCO gives 72.5 m for the minaret's height. Only this tower is drawn; the site's other monuments are not included in its dimension.
Compare the stated dimensions
The comparison uses the number in each fact sheet: altitude, height, diameter, length or distance, depending on the reference. Two values in metres do not necessarily describe the same property.
Source and limitations
Representative or rounded dimensions according to the source; these are not a confidence interval.
Interpreted profile of Qutb Minar: five unequal storeys, fluted sandstone, carved balconies and lighter upper sections. The compared height is 72.5 m, from base to top. Masonry details and secondary proportions are interpreted, not an exact archaeological survey.
