The ruined architecture of this Quila is a sight to behold with Beautiful galleries to the ruined Diwan-e-aam this has been compiled to give you the best experience if you are history nerd. Built-in 1558 by Mughal ruler Shah Suri, Purana Quila is one of the most ancient sites in the city of Delhi. It beholds the magical history of the city and gives you a glimpse of how beautifully it has been constructed throughout the many centuries of rulings. 

It has been scattered over the area of 5 miles and holds three gates to enter inside it. It has been divided by a deep moat which shows the excellent use of water for the defence of this fort. This moat was filled by the grace of river Yamuna while the moat is now dried but during the rainy season, you can still see how the water was used for the defence of this mesmerizing fort.

Purana qila has the beautiful attractions inside it like Humayun Darvaja, Sher mandal and Qila-I-kuhna masjid which bless the people by the history of Mughals whoever wishes to visits here. Since it is ancient and overshadowed by the beautiful Red Fort the no. of tourist visits are substantially lesser than the present attractions in Delhi. So if you are a person who gets excited by visiting the unheard places then you should definitely visit here without giving it any thought.

The best thing to do in the Quila is the boating facility available inside the fort which will give you the real fun of paddling through the mesmerizing architecture of Purana Qila.
