It is one of the oldest higheay in Asia made around 2500 years ago to connect east India to the central Asia. These minars were constructed by the great ruler Sher Shah Suri as symbol of highway for the travellers in 1600s.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ What is kos minar, you might be ask, from Bengal to Peshawar a road was constructed in vedic times, although it was a normal pathway but during the mauryan kingdom the same was covered with stones.
Ashoka made wells and planted tree alongside
It was sher shah suri who put a signal to stop at a certain distance in 16th century and named it as kos minar
Such miners are through out the GT ROAD

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It was originally built as a landmark of distance on grand trunk road. Thats why it is called as Kos Minar. It is actually a circle between three roads. Small garden surrounding the kos minar and is nowadays being maintained. Families spend their time during evening hours. Looks beautiful at night.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This Kos Minars is situated Near Jasola Metro station on the ancient 'royal route and highway' populary known as the 'Grand Trunk Road' that has now been converted to National Highway No. 1. This is full of greenry means its is surrounded by green grass area. The Kos-minars, erected during reign of Mughal Emperor Jahangir are the earliest known examples of the 'road milestones' in the Indian History.
In 1619 AD, Emperor Jahangir ordered Bakir Khan, the Fauzdar of Multan, to erect a minaret at every Kos (a distance of 2 miles and approximately 3.22 kms.) on the old imperial route. Kos-minars are plastered solid bricks structures standing on a square platform.
