Purana Qila, located in Delhi, is a historic fortress with a rich past. Its impressive architecture and sprawling grounds make it a fascinating site to explore. Visitors can wander through its ancient walls, marvel at its intricate design, and learn about its significance in Indian history. The fort also hosts light and sound shows, adding to its allure. However, some parts may be in need of maintenance, detracting slightly from the experience. Overall, Purana Qila offers a glimpse into India's storied past and is worth a visit for history enthusiasts and tourists alike.
Great experience.

This fort is not only the oldest fort among all forts in Delhi, but the oldest known structure of any type in Delhi. Located at the site of legendary city of Indraprastha, the fort was founded by Pandavas on the banks of perineal river Yamuna, which is revered by Hindus since ages. Fort is more than 5000 years old, and was constructed before the 'Mahabharata' took place.

Good fort kind of structure in delhi right next to delhi zoo. Very calm and not so crowded during week days. It is maintained well.Purana Qila is a fort complex thats thought to have been in use in various guises since the 5th century BC and possibly even mentioned in the Indian epic, Mahabharata. The most interesting buildings in the complex are the Qila-i-Kuhna Mosque, Sher Mandal and the museum.
Definitely worth visiting when in Delhi, give yourself a couple of hours to see everything.

It is an awesome place to visit in New Delhi for both couples and families. This is an evergreen park and monument. You may visit this place any season from 10am to 6pm.

I am giving this place a 5 star rating because it is one of the less explored forts in Delhi, also a beautiful view with a lot of greeneries.
Canteen is also available for your favourite dish.
You can travel with your family and have one of the best weekends over there.

Place is huge and beautiful. Few of the buildings are still intact and in good condition but some of the buildings have just turned in to ruins. The whole complex is nicely garnered and kept clean.
But the only thing i didn't like about the management is that they allow people to make the walls dirty of the fortress.
Even inside the walls of the mosque names of the people has written which gives kinda bad impressions.
If i talk about the ticket prices, ticket costed us rupees 50, which had inclusion of museums and other galleries.

A good place to spend sometime with friends. However, many spots aren't allowed to enter for visitors. There's not much to see here just some old buildings but it has very large area and you can relax in the park .
