A kilometre away from Dakhil Darwaja, it was built by Sultan Saifuddin Feroze Shah during 1485-89. 26 metres high and 19 metres in circumference, it resembles the Qutub Minar of Delhi.
The historic tower of Firoze Minar is located on the southeastern part of the Dakhil Darwaza. The tower boasting a height of 26 m features the inscriptions of King Saif al-Din. Firoze Minar is a replica of the Qutab Minar in Delhi. There is a spiral flight of 84 steps leading to the top of the tower. The upper two tiers of the tower were built in circular pattern whereas the lower three are of polygon shape. Tourists can well observe the Tughlaqi style of architecture in the entire structure.
