<p><strong>Red Fort</strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Delhi</strong></p>

<p>A must-see on your Delhi Itinerary is the famous&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Fort" target="_blank">Red Fort</a>. High on UNESCO&rsquo;s list of World Heritage Sites, Red Fort is one of India&rsquo;s top monuments and the most visited place in Delhi. This fortified palace was built in 1639 for Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan on the banks of River Yamuna, when he shifted his capital to Delhi from Agra. In fact, it was designed by the same architect who drew up the plans for the Taj Mahal.</p>

<p>Lal Quila &lsquo;the red fortress&rsquo; gets its name from the red sandstone rampart walls and is the best spot to take your iconic photo shots against a background of Old Delhi. It is worth going inside the enclosure to see the Audience Hall, Diamond Palace and Pearl Mosque, the step-well and white marble hammam. A museum holds an assortment of precious artefacts. Since 1947, Red Fort is the famous symbol of Indian Independence Day, commemorated yearly on August 15th&nbsp;when the PM raises the national flag.</p>
