Seven Cities Of Delhi
Shahjehanabad
Humayun's son Akbar is known as one of the greatest Mughal
emperors . However, he concentrated his construction feats in Agra and
the later abandoned city Fatehpur Sikri. It was his grandson Shahjehan,
the man who gave the Taj Mahal to the world, who created the city
of Shahjehanabad, the seventh city of Delhi - in the area that is now
known as Old Delhi. The Jama Masjid and the Red Fort are two
excellent examples of the architectural splendour of the 17th c. The
intricate lanes of the 'walled city', its bazaars and way of living seem
to exist in a time warp. Indeed, the remains of Shahjehanabad are a
must-do for tourists.
