Siri Fort, Medieval fort in South Delhi district, India

The remnants of Siri Fort include stone walls, bastions, and a southeastern gate within an oval-shaped complex spanning across the residential area.

Sultan Alauddin Khilji constructed Siri Fort in 1303 as the second fortified city of Delhi Sultanate to defend against Mongol invasions.

The fort structures display architectural elements from Seljuk craftsmen, incorporating both Turkish and Indian construction methods in its design.

The monument opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with Green Park Metro Station providing the nearest public transportation access point.

The construction required 70,000 workers and included the Hazar Sutan palace, featuring thousand pillars and white marble flooring.
