Historic Place, Religious Sight

Dating back to 1354, Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is one of Delhi’s oldest surviving monuments. Constructed by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq when he shifted his capital to Firozabad, the fort once housed palaces, mosques, and administrative buildings. Today, visitors can explore extensive ruins, including the Ashokan Pillar relocated here from Ambala, remnants of the Jami Masjid, and underground cells believed to be haunted by spirits (djinns), which locals still visit with offerings. The fort offers a glimpse into Delhi’s medieval past and is a fascinating stop for history enthusiasts and curious explorers alike.
