Purana Quila

Unclaimed

A quiet serene place with lush green spaces to sit & relax. Situated next to the Delhi zoo, the Purana Quila can be a good go to place for a romantic getaway or a family day out if you like history, architecture & nature. There is also a museum inside, which is decent; and a big lake with good scenic views. You can check the timings for boating in the lake. The nearest metro station is Pragati maidan (now Supreme Court).

This was such a fascinating place to visit, full of history and beautiful architecture. The massive gates, ancient ruins, and scenic surroundings make it a great spot for exploring and photography. The atmosphere is peaceful, and there’s even a lake nearby where you can enjoy a boat ride. It’s less crowded than some other historical sites in Delhi, which makes it even better for a relaxed visit. I attended a show here which was a fantastic location.

One of the best historical sites in Delhi. Less crowded and calm in usual days. An archeological museum, gigantic old palace, Sher Mondal aka Humayun‘s library, A mosque and a big Step well is all inside the complex. ❤️

This covers a large area so it requires quite some time to see the whole place. It's peaceful because not many people visits here in comparison to the other monuments of Delhi. Tickets can be purchased on spot. There's hardly a queue.
