Monuments à New Delhi

Architectural Landmarks

New Delhi’s architectural landscape spans centuries, featuring the 13th-century Sultan Garhi—India’s first Islamic mausoleum—and the 20th-century India Gate memorial. This collection includes the refined Mughal aesthetics of Safdarjung’s Tomb, the Lodi-era structures within Lodi Gardens like the Shish Gumbad and Bara Gumbad, and the spiritual centers of Nizamuddin Dargah and Bakhtiyar Kaki. Historic remnants like the Sher Mandal library and the Khooni Darwaza gate offer glimpses into the city's shifting dynasties and military history.
