India - Purana Qila

This “old fort” is on the eastern side of Delhi, south of its more-famous brother the Red Fort. It was built between 1533-1550s by the second Mughal emperor, Humayan. There’s not much left but some of the walls and two or three main buildings. See blog at https://davidkotz.org/2011/03/12/purana-qila-national-museum-delhi/.
