Hauz Khas Complex, Medieval building complex in South Delhi, India

The Hauz Khas Complex encompasses a water reservoir, Islamic seminary, mosque, tomb, and pavilions arranged in an L-shaped configuration around the tank.

Alauddin Khalji constructed the water tank in the early 1300s, while Firoz Shah Tughlaq added educational structures and his tomb between 1352 and 1354.

The Madrasa-e-Firuz Shahi within the complex served as a prominent Islamic learning center, drawing students with its distinguished faculty and educational programs.

The complex features multiple entrance points, connecting pathways, and provides direct access to the neighboring Deer Park and local metro stations.

The water tank originally covered 50 hectares with dimensions of 600 meters width and 700 meters length, supplying water to the residents of Siri Fort.
