The Red Fort was built by Shahjahan in the 17th century in what is now
Old Delhi, or the Walled City. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and
another architecture icon of India’s capital. Originally, River Yamuna
flew by the fort and replenished the moats which surround the walls of
the fort. However, land was reclaimed from the river for construction
purposes in modern India. It may not look like a architectural marvel
today, but the fact that it has remained strong and stood the test of
times for over 3 centuries is testimony to the brilliance of the
architecture.
