Purana Quila - The Old Fort in Delhi

Purana Qila aka the Old Fort in Delhi is a fine example of history, heritage, and old-world charm - all of which come together to make it a one-of-its-kind attraction. As one of the oldest forts in Delhi, this Mughal-age edifice has remained witness to Delhi’s eventful history.
Purana Qila is a massive structure with walls rising up to a height of up to 18 meters. They cover 1.5 km in length. Shaped in a rectangular pattern, the fort is adorned with three arched entrances namely the Bara Darwaza (Big Gate), the Humayun Darwaza (South Gate), and the Talaqi Darwaza (Forbidden Gate). All three gates bear a similar feature - that is, they are double-storied structures built in sandstone and adorned with two gigantic semi-circular towers.
