Old Delhi architecture
Ancient Delhi architecture with plenty of charisma and nostalgia is a splendid example of Mughal architecture. You realize that each wall has a story to tell while walking around Old Delhi. Old Delhi is a walled city that is roughly shaped as a fourth circle and focuses on Red Fort. While the walls have largely vanished, most of the gates remain.
Red Fort's huge red sandstone walls and its proximity to Fort Salimgarh are renowned for its name. It has been a centre for the Mughal politics and ceremonies. Built by Shah Jahan in 1648, the architecture reflects the merger between Persian and Timurid traditions with a giant garden.
