Detailed explanation-1: -Purana Qila ( lit. ‘Old Fort’) is one of the oldest forts in Delhi, India. Built by the second Mughal Emperor Humayun and Sur Emperor Sher Shah Suri, it is thought by many to be located on the site of the ancient city of Indraprastha.
Detailed explanation-2: -Literally “old fort“, Purana Quila is definitely worth including in your itinerary. Built by Mughal emperor Humayun and Afghan ruler Sher Shah, the walls of the fort have three gates and are surrounded by a moat fed by the river Yamuna.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, the monument built by Sher Shah is Qila-i-Kulna Masjid, Delhi.
Detailed explanation-4: -Sher Shah established another capital city of Delhi. The City, known as Shergarh, was built on the ruins of Dinpanah that Humayun had set up. The remains of Shergarh is what you see today at Purana Qila.
