Old Delhi Walking Tour, Delhi
Old Delhi, as a walled city, was founded in 1639 under the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who decided to move his domain's capital here from Agra. The construction of the city was completed in 1648, from which point on Delhi remained the capital of the Mughal Empire Until Its fall in 1857.
Once filled with mansions and Havelis (traditional townhouses) of the nobles and members of the royal court, situated alongside elegant mosques and gardens, Old Delhi was also known for its bazaars and street food.
Red Fort, the former residence of Emperor Shah Jahan, is the most popular attraction in Old Delhi. On 15 August 1947, an Indian national flag was raised above the fort, symbolizing the independence of India as a nation, for the first time. Jama Masjid or Friday Mosque, the most notable piece of Islamic architecture, is found in the center of the city.
If you want to experience firsthand a busy Indian market, check out Chandini Chowk. This market was built by Emperor Shah Jahan and designed by his daughter Jahanara. The place was once divided by canals to reflect moonlight, hence it is also called Moonlight Square.
