Delhi’s Timeless Landmark: Purana Qila (Old Fort)

#favouriteitinerary Purana Qila, one of Delhi’s oldest forts, stands as a testament to the city’s layered history. Built in the 16th century, it blends Mughal and Afghan architectural styles, with massive stone walls and grand gateways. Wander through the ruins of ancient palaces, visit the Qila-i-Kuhna Mosque with its intricate designs, and enjoy a peaceful boat ride on the adjacent lake. The fort’s archaeological significance and tranquil setting offer a glimpse into Delhi’s past beyond its bustling streets.
