Tughlaqabad fort
Tughlaqabad Fort’s history is as rich, varied and complex as any other architectural marvel’s in Delhi. Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, the first king of the Tughlaq dynasty who ruled in 1320 AD, chose Tughlaqabad’s rocky site to build the fort so that it could be defended easily from invaders, like the marauding Mongols. In 1327, the sultan uprooted all the settlers in Tughlakabad when he shifted the capital to Devagiri. His action wreaked havoc on the city.
