Built on the site of the most ancient and numerous cities of Delhi, Indraprastha, Purana Qila is roughly rectangular in shape having a circuit of nearly 2 kilometers. Its thick ramparts crowned by merlons have three gateways provided with fortifications on either side. It is beautifully surrounded by a wide moat, connected to the Yamuna River which flows to the east of the fort. The massive gateway and walls of Old Fort were built by Humayun and the foundation was laid for the new capital Dinpanah. The work was carried forward by Sher Shah Suri who displaced Humayun.
