Lal Kot was an Rajputs in the 12th century, and Prithviraj III built massive ramparts around the area and called it Qila Rai Pithora . The ramparts were later demolished by the slave kings and Lal Kot became the site of the first mosque in India, Quwwat-ul-Islam Masjid . Archaeological excavations uncovered the earliest of proper settlements in Delhi. Only ramparts of the city, dating back to the 11th Century remain.
