India's Delhi
Old Delhi
Spreading west from the impressive Red Fort, the imposing red sandstone landmark reflecting the height of Mughal architecture, lies the walled city of Shahjahanabad, or Old Delhi. Within this historical gem of Delhi find a rich display of 16th and 17th century Mughal-built monuments and vibrant souk-like bazaars.
Explore its many highlights such as the Jama Masjid, the largest mosque in India and one of the finest examples of architectural exuberance during the Mughal era, or the Raj Ghat, where Mahatma Ghandi’s memorial towers proudly in black marble. Or, simply head straight to Shahjahanabad’s most elegant boulevard, Chandni Chowk, or Silver Square, where ornate shrines and colorful bazaars line the streets where some of India’s grandest shops and mansions once stood valiantly.
