Information About

Lal Kot




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. Heavy encroachment by population is endangering the historic saga of the site.
