Places of interest

The monumental Red Fort, constructed from distinctive red sandstone, is among the most significant Mughal-era constructions and impresses with its colossal walls, gates, and palaces – a historical landmark and a popular tourist destination.

Very close by rises the magnificent Jama Masjid, one of the largest mosques in India. It can accommodate over 25,000 worshippers and is not only a place of prayer but also an architectural masterpiece with an impressive dome and column structure.

Another architectural highlight is the Humayun's Tomb, whose harmonious design and elaborate gardens are considered a direct inspiration for the famous Taj Mahal – an early masterpiece of Mughal architecture.

The Qutb Minar, a 72.5-metre-high minaret dating back to the 12th century, impressively towers into the sky and is one of Delhi's most well-known landmarks. Its richly decorated stonework and the surrounding ruins tell the story of the Islamic Sultanate's long history in India.
