The Red Fort in Delhi is not only an architectural marvel but also witness to some of the most crucial events in Indian history. Built by the fifth Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in 1648, when he decided to move his capital from Agra to Delhi, the Lal Kila was the palace fort of Shahjahanabad.

The Red Fort of Delhi is in fact inspired by the Red Fort in Agra, which was built by his grandfather, Akbar the Great. the Delhi Red Fort Complex also includes the adjacent older fort – the Salimgarh, built by Islam Shah Suri in 1546. This massive walled structure took nearly a decade to complete. Ustad Hamid and Ustad Ahmad of Shah Jahan’s court started the construction in 1638 and completed it in 1648.

The Red Fort of Delhi represents the brilliance of Mughal architecture, mixed with various local building traditions such as Persian, Timurid and Hindu architecture. The building has two main entry points – the Lahori Gate and the Delhi Gate. While the Lahori Gate is the main entrance to the fort, the Delhi Gate is the public entrance at the southern end of the building.
