New Delhi: Red Fort




The Red Fort  is a 17th-century fort complex constructed by the Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan in the walled city of Old Delhi  that served as the residence of the Mughal Emperors. The design is commonly credited to Mughal architect Ustad Ahmad. The fort was the palace for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's new capital, Shahjahanabad, the seventh city in the Delhi site. He moved his capital here from Agra in a move designed to bring prestige to his reign, and to provide ample opportunity to apply his ambitious building schemes and interests. The fort lies along the Yamuna River. This cancellation is no longer available.
