The ancient castle is the residence of the second-generation Mughal king Humayun, not far from the India Gate and Humayun's Tomb, which can be visited by the way.

The castle building is constructed of red sandstone, the main entrance is sturdy and magnificent, and the two symmetrical corner towers at the south entrance are very unique. Surrounded by green trees, the Kuhna Mosque is the embodiment of the early Mughal architectural style. The castle is famous for the old library.
