    The nearest metro station is ITO on the Violet Line. It is a 10 minute walk from gate 3 of the Metro station. An island of tranquility in the middle of the city. The campus is not that big and will hardly take an hour for the hurried tourist. However, you can spend a while soaking up the beauty of the ruins of Delhi's fifth city. The piece de resistance is the 3rd century BC Ashokan pillar on top of the pyramidal pavilion, and the ruins of the Jami Masjid. The place is also said to be the residence of several Djinns, so be respectful.

    It was built during the reign of Firoz Shah Tughlaq around the middle of the 14th century in order to create a city called Firozabad. One of the most visible structures inside this Fort is an Ashoka pillar whose antiquity dates back to the 3rd century BC. There is also a mosque and a 'baoli', (deep well) within the premises. It is more or less well maintained. Entry fee ₹ 20 online, ₹ 25 cash Still I was the only person onna semi-cold March morning

    Very peaceful place It is a very relaxed place, but lovers will often find obscenity, due to which they do not want to come here with family. Some people have spread rumors that there are ghosts here, but I did not feel anything like this.

    Located between Old and New Delhi, Feroz Shah Kotla Fort was built in 1354 by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq, when he was ruling the city from 1351 to 1384. The fort, built by the Mughal king, is also one of the oldest structures in Delhi.

    Nothing but just ruins of Feroz Shah Kotla Fort with tracks for walking and three to four security guards. One part of the fort guard said is restricted so i couldn't go. Ticket is 20 rupees and can be booked by scanning QR code in front of the entry gate. Tripods are not allowed.

    It is located at walking distance to ITO metro station. It is a very old monument and the structure, although in ruins, still looks beautiful. The lawns are decent and full of grass. Not much space to sit however. Its not a very happening place, but very peaceful.

    Firoz Shah Kotla Fort is one of oldest structure built in 1354 by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq, when he was ruling the city from 1351 to 1384. Kotla literally means fortress or Citadel. This majestic fort will amaze you seeing Ashokan Pillar of 3rd century BC made of sandstone. Fort complex also houses the Jami Masjid with square praying area, an old Baoli and beautiful manicured gardens with flower plants. This fort was built on the bank's of river Yamuna was believed to solve the water crisis. This is picture perfect place. Entry Rs.25 per head (Cash Payment) Rs.20 per head (Online Payment) Quick eateries shop are outside the main entrance. Really great place ! The ruins were spectacular!!

    A pristine polished sandstone Topra Ashokan pillar from the 3rd century BC rises from the palace's crumbling remains, one of many pillars of Ashoka left by the Mauryan emperor; it was moved from Topra Kalan in Pong Ghati of Yamunanagar district in Haryana to Delhi under orders of Firoz Shah Tughlaq of Delhi Sultanate, and re-erected in its present location in 1356. The original inscription on the obelisk is primarily in Brahmi script but language was Prakrit, with some Pali and Sanskrit added later. The inscription was successfully translated in 1837 by James Prinsep.[1] This and other ancient lats (pillars, obelisk) have earned Firoz Shah Tughlaq and Delhi Sultanate fame for its architectural patronage.[2] Other than the Ashokan Pillar, the Fort complex also houses the Jami Masjid (Mosque), a Baoli and a large garden complex. HistoryEdit Feroz Shah Tughlaq (r. 1351–1388), the Sultan of Delhi, established the fortified city of Firuzabad[3] in 1354, as the new capital of the Delhi Sultanate, and included in it the site of the present Feroz Shah Kotla. Kotla literally means fortress or citadel. The pillar, also called obelisk or Lat is an Ashoka Column, attributed to Mauryan ruler Ashoka. The 13.1 meters high column, made of polished sandstone and dating from the 3rd century BC, was brought from Ambala in the 14th century under orders of Feroz Shah. It was installed on a three-tiered arcaded pavilion near the congregational mosque, inside the Sultanate's fort. In centuries that followed, much of the structure and buildings near it were destroyed as subsequent rulers dismantled them and reused the spolia as building materials.[4][5] In the pre-independence era, due to lack of auditoriums in the capital, most classical music performances were staged here or at Qutub complex. Later Ebrahim Alkazi, then head of NSD, staged his landmark production of Dharamvir Bharati's Andha Yug here and its premiere in 1964 was attended by Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.[

    Entry ticket 25/- rupees. It is a demolished remains of a fort. There is a mosque inside the place. The view of the city from the mosque is flabbergasting. It is a well maintained place, but guides or more pillars with historical background of the place should be there to attract more tourism and increase the value of the place.

    Firozabad is the fifth city of Delhi. And Kotla Firoz Shah is its citadel built by Firoz Shah Tuglak in 1351. The ruins are a classic example of rubble masonry. This place is said to be haunted by Djinns. Hence every Thursday, many gather here to pray and share their problems with the Djinns via letters. They tie threads or put locks and come and unite/open the lock when their wish is granted. Important monuments inside are the Ashokan pillar, the huge baoli and the Jami masjid. The Ashokan pillar was transported from Ambala with humongous efforts and installed here. And it is because of the Bramhi inscriptions on such pillars that the history of King Ashoka and Buddhism was brought forth. The baoli is huge and it is the only circular baoli in Delhi. It had been an important source of drinking water as the water from Yamuna river was considered unsafe for consumption. The Jami masjid is still functional. Timur had prayed here and was so impressed by the architecture that he took along 600 masons and built Bibi Khanum mosque inspired by this mosque. The gardens have impressive lawns and amazing tall trees. Definitely worth a visit.

    The Feroz Shah Kotla was a fortress built on the bank of Yamuna during 14th Cemtury by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq(1351-88) as a Citadel of Delhi city called Firozabad.Today,this site contains ruins of Palaces,Pillared Halls,Jami Masjid,Topran Ashoka's Pillar,Baoli and many buried tunnels.Among them,Topra Ashokan Pillar is the most famous,installed within the premises of Fort after bringing it from Topara(a Mauryan village Of Haryana) on the order of Sultan Firoz Shah Tughalaq.Now,It is an attractive tourist place in Delhi with carrying the nostalgia of Mediaval India.

  • 5/5 Barun G. 2 years ago on Google
    A fantastic gem of history to explore right in the heart of Delhi. Limited parking is available in this area plus it’s close to two Metro stations, being relatively flat persons with reduced mobility can easily access this area too. Open from sunrise to sunset, tickets are available for ₹25/Indian citizen. Very well maintained area for history lovers to explore & understand how such phenomenal structures were built almost eight hundred years ago including the phenomenal feat of transporting the Ashokan pillar. As of today, the access to the Ashokan pillar & the Baoli within the complex is restricted & entrance to the immense Jami Masjid is allowed though one should wear modest clothing to enter. There’s also a 110 year old tree within the complex which is a sight to behold on its own right.

    This is an amazing and "peaceful" place to visit. The nearest metro station is ITO at walking distance. There is so much open space and peace and less crowd. It is not in perfect condition but just ruins remaining. I went there in the afternoon but loved it . It has historical importance related to Feroz Shah Tuglaq.The Feroz Shah Kotla or Kotla was originally a fortress built by Sultan Ferozshah Tughlaq to house his version of Delhi city called Ferozabad. There is also a Maurya period pillar from the time of Emperor Ashoka which was transported on Tughlaq's order from Topra to kotla. If you want to spend time in open space without much disturbance, you can visit here. We had to purchase ticket from the counter. There's no proper place to buy food but small vendors sell a few items. Its better if you can carry your own water bottle.

    It is good place to see the medieval history ruins like Qutub minar area, this place is on the list of haunted places of delhi which makes it odd one out of other ruins . Its a small fort surrounded by Cricket Stadium , Residential Colony and Park. Some places were dark and prohibited because of haunted reasons . Many guards were patrolling inside the fort and asking visitors to not explore some areas which were not locked . There is a big mosque as well inside it and the view is good from there . We didn't have experienced anything paranormal. The day was sunday. For Indians offline ticket fee was 25 and online was 20 only but foreigners it was Rs250 . There were some technical issue during online payment as payment was done from the bank but we didn't recieved any receipt though sometime later the person on ticket counter helped us out and we manged to pay online easily.

    Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is one of the earliest surviving monuments in Delhi. It was constructed by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq in 1354, and situated along the banks of the Yamuna River. The fort has a lot of historic elements to offer including a stepwell, mosque, and Ashoka pillar next to it, representing a symbol of unity, brought from Ambala, Haryana. The pillar was originally erected in 250 BC in Ambala and bears inscriptions of Buddhist teachings in the Pali language. The place is famous among people for its interesting legend about the Djinn. People in the area believe that if you write your wishes on a piece of paper and leave it in a designated spot within the complex, the djinn may grant your wishes. This practice has been followed for centuries, and many visitors still participate in it today, hoping for their desires to be fulfilled by the legendary djinn of Feroz Shah Kotla.

    A ruined fort after some preservation can be found at this place. Haunted place as claimed by many, but I loved the greenery. Disappointed, I could not see the Askoka Pillar from close as it was not allowed to climb on the platform.

    The ruins of the old fort located next to the stadium is another ideal location for a day picnic. The ticket for an Indian National is Rs 20 can be obtained by scanning the QR code and is not much inhabited by couples like Purana Qila. The compound has a big garden, a masjid where people still offer prayers and a fort which you can visit if you enter from the first gate. There are two entry points and you can see only half of the forts if you don't enter from both the gates individually.

    I visited feroj Shah kotla fort 2nd time today (Sunday, February 28) with my friends. The place was very peaceful ,beautiful, less crowded and very easily accessible. Anyone can reach there by any mode of transport(bus,car,metro etc.) Nearest Metro Station is ITO. Entry is only possible by online ticketing. Ticket fee was also very reasonable for the place(Rs. 20 per person). Process of online registration just took 5 minutes and we can book tickets on the spot by any online mode (like paytm, phonepay etc.) online registration process asks for valid I'd proof. Anyone can spend here 1 to 2 hours easily.

    A majestic and hidden gem, adjacent to Ferozeshah Kotla cricket stadium. This place is mostly not crowded and stands in silence to blow you away with its magnificent architecture. The ruins stand like an old man ready to tell the tale of a nostalgic past, from a classic book covered with dust. It makes for a beautiful sight, and on a clear day it can be a photographer's delight. Ps: My pictures are from 2019.

    I Visited Firoz shah kotla a few days back, we entered the fort early morning around at 9:30 and found no one there. We were early visitors and therefore could see all the places within an hours. As we had heard some stories about जिन्न लाट वाले बाबा, we found so many letters ( we didn't dare to read them as they were written to genies) which were written by the believer who believed in the folklores that say the stories about the people who got there wishes fulfilled by genies. So over all it's one time visit. Charges : 25₹ per head.

  • 5/5 Syed Ameer q. 1 month ago on Google • 104 reviews New
    We typically visit the stadium atleast once a year to watch a match. The name of the stadium has now been changed to Arun Jaitley stadium. If you are planning to watch a match, make sure you do not buy tickets for any of the stands in square. Personally, the stand which I like most is the old members club. THE first and most important thing to be aware of for travellers trying to find this stadium is that it has recently changed its name and is now called the Arun Jaitley Stadium. It was set up in 1883 and is the second oldest still functional international cricket stadium in India behind Eden Gardens, Kolkata. I visited this famous old Test Match ground on the first day of my holiday in India. I'd checked into my hotel and found myself with some spare time, so I went out and hired a tuk tuk driver to take me across the city to the stadium as I am a big cricket fan. Quite frankly I was utterly bewildered by my first contact with Indian traffic which greeted me with a cacophony of horn blasts, shouts, revved engines and incredibly dense concentrations of vehicles. When I explained this to my tuk tuk driver he laughed and said this was light traffic because today was a Sunday!! He was right. The next day was far worse with unbelievable traffic and noise. Fortunately for me my Sunday visit to the stadium went very well and I made the trip over from Karol Bagh in about 35 minutes. My seasoned driver lost no time in taking me on an entire circuit of the outside of the stadium including a pause for various photographs including one of the Virender Sehwag Gate dedicated to India's famous attacking batsman. This is a big stadium with dominated by towering light structures, a bowl of a place where spectators gather in tens of thousands to watch their heroes play. If the interior is well kept with strict security then the same cannot be said of the exterior which has heaps of rubbish lying about, broken bricks, people asleep on the pavement, squalor and the occasional little food stall. Half way between the street and the hallowed pitch in the centre of the ground lies a sort of entrance walk through history where visitors are treated to giant photos of players both current and past. That I found really interesting. All in all it was an atmospheric visit to this famous ground and I would recommend a visit to any cricket fan who finds

    Firoz Shah Kotla Fort is the 5th of the 9 cities that together form Old Delhi. Later New Delhi was added and today along with the NCR regions like Gurugram and Noida makes Delhi one of the top 5 urban conglomerates of the World. As per the tour guide and also as clearly mentioned on a plaque installed nearby this fort was looted by the mughal Emperor Shahjahan to built his own city called Shajahanabad. As a result only a few walls and ruins of various structures like the palace and administrative offices are seen inside the fort complex. The cobbled pathways that take visitors to every interesting place in the fort complex are also the most admirable part of this monument. The only structures that are relatively intact are a mosque and a stepwell. The mosque is accessible after climbing 12-15 steps and the entrance looks very attractive. The entry to the fort is cashless and no paper tickets are issued. I scanned a QR code that took me to the Archaeological Survey of India or ASI website for this fort where I could pay using net banking and got another QR code that was in turn scanned with a handhold scanner by the security to allow me the entry. ♿ Accessibility Features: Yes=Ramp access. Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Entrance. Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Restroom/Toilet. Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Seating. Yes=A wheelchair-accessible Parking.

    Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is a stone construction like Old fort but its condition is bit better than Old Fort. It has Jami Masjid in it which is used by Muslims for prayers. Mostly in ruins but has some specific structures to see. You can also see the famous Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium from there. It is also rumored that Djinns are also present there and to appease them lamps are also enlightened in a cave.

    Ruins only, nothing much to admire about which is obvious because it's from 14th Century and its stones were taken away for construction of other monuments. Irony is that this very structure used stones and materials of other monuments for its construction. You can see Ashokan pillar from a distance since renovation work is going on.

    The oldest of the oldest of the oldest forts in india, and definitely of Delhi, capital of India, though left into its ruins structure now, but a majestic view of the city can be seen, Kotla, famous for many reasons, often coined as the house of the Djins, do dare yourself to set up a meeting there with them. A quite and serene place to visit in the winter months.

    Feroz Shah Kotla, New Delhi. It is one of the major archeological groups of Delhi. It is so huge and many-sided that every one of its singular designs requests unique consideration, including the Jami Masjid and the Pyramidal construction by its side, notwithstanding, the Baoli, which isn't exceptionally distant from them, is likewise a significant piece of the whole complicated. This 14th century development was the core of the city of Ferozabad. Built by Feroz Shah Tughlaq, who needed to construct something of his own, in spite of the fact that his predecessors had proactively fabricated the sublime Tughlaqabad landmarks.

    The walls of the citadel are 15 metres high and have a slight slope on the outside. The top parapets or merlons have now disappeared but the arrow slits can still be seen. The buildings inside are too ruined to be identified individually, but historians from the time of Feroz Shah listed many structures in the fortress. There was 'The Palace of the Clayey Court', which was meant for the emperor's court attended by nobles, officials and distinguished literary men. The Palace of the Wooden Gallery/Overhang' was for the officers of the emperor, and the 'Central Quadrangle' or the 'Palace of the Public Court', was where the emperor held court for the general public.

    Decently maintained site. There is no ticket for entry however you would rethink before taking your own vehicle here as parking may be difficult to find nearby. The site has a functional although unbuilt masjid inside. Everyone is welcome to have a visit however, please be respectful.

    I visited this place after years. Now it is in a much better condition. Lawns/grass/trees maintained much better-may be a result of introduction of entry ticket( Rs.20 if you pay online and Rs.25 if one pays in cash).More than worth going there some time...make sure you don't go there when it's too hot.

    The fort is now just ruins. The pyramidical structure on which Ashoka pillar is fixed, is closed for tourists. However, if you know the Brahmi script, you can read the inscription through binoculars. There is a old Mosque inside the campus where people offer prayers. While walking through the structures you should be careful about ceiling stones which are dangerously exposed due to absence of plaster. Garden is though well maintained. Entry fees per person is Rs. 30 if paid in cash, through online mode it will be Rs. 25. You can visit this place just for academic interest, nothing substantial is there for tourism point of view.

    Firoz Shah Kotla Fort is a nice place nearby ITO. It's between ITO and Delhi Gate Metro and just in front of Khooni darwaja at the ITO - Kashmiri Gate Road. It is thought to be a haunted place. As the story of jinns is famous here. It is strongly supposed that the jinns read the letters of people coming here. Earlier people used to come here with their wishes or problems written on paper and used to leave here with a belief that jinns would read their letters and wishes will be fulfilled. But due to some reasons, ASI ( archeological survey of India) has stopped all those activities in 2022. Before this notice a huge number of people used to come here every Thursday to worship for their wishes. This place has a ticket of 25Rs. Cash or 20 Rs. online. The facility of drinking water or toilets is not available here. Please go prepared for the same. 70% of its total is now not permitted to visit.

    I like this place. It is not a very big fort but still it's great. A well maintained and clean garden area and trees are well shaped. You can click amazing pictures here. There are beautiful flower plants also. The only thing I didn't like in this place was that many parts of the fort were closed you can't visit.

    Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is a remarkable historical site located in the heart of Delhi, India. As a Google Maps contributor, I had the opportunity to visit this ancient monument and was truly captivated by its rich history and intriguing folklore. The fort's architectural splendor dates back to the 14th century when it was built by Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq, a ruler of the Tughlaq dynasty. Upon arriving, visitors are greeted with an awe-inspiring display of intricate designs and imposing structures, reminiscent of a bygone era. One of the most talked-about aspects of the fort is the infamous tale of Jinn, which, according to local legends, roams within the dark corners of the fort's ruins. While some might dismiss this as a mythical story akin to Vampires and Unicorns, it cannot be denied that the mystique surrounding the Jinn attracts many curious visitors who believe in these age-old narratives. It adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the place, making it all the more enticing for tourists and history enthusiasts alike. Apart from the legendary tales, the fort holds another significant aspect that exemplifies India's cultural diversity and harmony. Nestled within its walls, you'll find a beautiful mosque and a Muslim praying area, showcasing the coexistence of Hindus and Muslims during that period. This display of religious diversity serves as a reminder of India's rich past and the amalgamation of various cultures that have shaped its identity. As a heritage site, Feroz Shah Kotla Fort offers a great opportunity for photography enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone eager to immerse themselves in Delhi's fascinating past. The well-preserved structures and the serene ambiance provide an ideal setting for exploration and reflection. However, it is essential to mention that the site's historical value might be underappreciated by some due to the emphasis on myths and legends. For a complete and accurate understanding of the fort's significance, visitors are encouraged to explore its authentic historical aspects. In conclusion, Feroz Shah Kotla Fort is undeniably a treasure trove of history, architecture, and myths that continue to intrigue and fascinate both locals and tourists alike. Its mix of fact and folklore creates a unique and memorable experience for those who venture to this remarkable landmark in Delhi. Whether you are a history enthusiast or simply seeking an intriguing adventure, this fort should be at the top of your list when visiting Delhi.
