Review & FAQ:
Essential viewing for any visitor to the bustling city of Delhi, the famous Red Fort (aka Mumtaz Mahal) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a prominent landmark. The red sandstone fortress was built between 1638 and 1648 by the Emperor Shah Jahan and was the primary residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty for over 2000 years. The lavishly appointed palace has largely been plundered of its beautiful marble decorations, but it is still possible to be awed by the architecture, scale, and extent of the complex. You are welcome to tour the fort at your own pace using an audio guide (which can be downloaded from the internet or hired onsite), and guided tours are also available. The Red Fort
