The beautiful Red Fort (Lal Qila) was built by Shah Jahan in 1648 and was the seat of the Mughal dynasty until 1857. This impressive building, with its tall red sandstone walls, spans over two square kilometers, is crescent-shaped, and is surrounded by a moat. The impressive main entrance Lahore Gate is so named because it faces Lahore in Pakistan, while the larger Delhi Gate was used by emperors for ceremonial processions. Entering through Lahore Gate, visitors arrive at Chhatta Chowk, a 17th-century covered bazaar that sells goods such as silk, jewelry, gems, and silverware, as well as souvenirs and groceries.
Completed in the 12th century, the beautiful Qutub Minaret is the tallest minaret in India. It is also now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting many international tourists who want to climb to the top for a breathtaking view of the area. Standing more than 70 meters high, the ornate five-story tower is covered with intricate carvings depicting the history of Qutub as well as inscriptions from the Quran. It is also built with several different types of stone. The complex also includes the Quwwat-ul-Islam Masjid, the mosque at the base of the tower; the gate built in 1310; and the mausoleums of Altamish, Aladdin Harji, and Imam Zamin. Also worth seeing is the 2,000-year-old Iron Pillar Aletta.
The equally impressive Gate of India, which looks a bit like the famous Arc de Triomphe in Paris, is a majestic stone arch built to honor Indian soldiers who fell in World War I. Eternal flames burn beneath the massive building, whose walls are engraved with the names of the more than 90,000 soldiers killed in the conflict. Standing on a red stone pedestal topped with a shallow domed bowl occasionally filled with burning oil (usually only on important anniversaries), the structure occupies the park surrounding it, an area that is always bustling Packed with tourists and locals alike who love to have a picnic or just relax. For a real treat, try visiting India Gate at night, considered one of the best free things to do in New Delhi. When it and the nearby fountain are illuminated, it's a spectacular sight.
