Delhi
Travel Guide One of the most fascinating aspects of
Delhi is the "visibility" of its historic past. Were it not for
the demands of urbanization, large portions of the city could well be
earmarked as archaeological parks. This is because the rulers of successive
dynasties between the 13th and the 17th centuries established seven cities
in different parts of Delhi. A chronological review of these cities
fortunately also serves as a suitable itinerary for tourists and highlights
the important monuments amongst the 1300 officially listed.
