Tughlaqabad Fort, Medieval fort in South East Delhi, India

The fort spans 6.5 kilometers in circumference, featuring massive stone fortifications with double-storied bastions and walls reaching heights of 15 meters.

Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, founder of the Tughlaq dynasty, constructed this defensive stronghold in 1321 but the settlement was abandoned after only 15 years.

The mausoleum within the fort complex contains three tombs built from red sandstone and marble, including the final resting place of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq.

Visitors can access the fort daily from 7:00 AM to 6:30 PM, with entry fees of 5 rupees for Indian nationals and 100 rupees for international tourists.

The entrance features grand staircases designed specifically for elephants to transport royal members into the fortress complex.
