#10 William Adams - Qutb Minar

When I was living in Delhi I would often go to the south part of the city and wander the neighborhoods there.  In these neighborhoods the streets would twist and turn and it was easy to get lost.  Many of the houses were 2-5 stories high and very close together, so finding your bearings was sometimes quite difficult.  Enter the Qutb Minar.  It is over 200 feet high and because the houses had exterior staircases we could simply walk up to the terrace and find the Minar.  From there we could easily get to where we wanted to go.  This 14^th century landmark helped me tremendously.
