The first place to visit Delhi if you love the historical places is the Red Fort. The Delhi Fort also known as Lal Qil'ah, or Lal Qila (Hindi: लाल क़िला, Urdu: لال قلعہ) meaning the Red Fort, located in Delhi, India and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. The Red Fort and the city of Shahjahanabad was constructed by the Emperor Shah Jahan in 1639 A.D. The Red Fort was the palace for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan's new capital, Shahjahanabad, the seventh Muslim city in the Delhi site. He moved his capital 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 is also the site from which the Prime Minister of India addresses the nation on August 15, the day India achieved independence from the British. It also happens to be the largest monument in Old Delhi.Wednesday, October 8, 2008
