Purana Qila

or the Old Fort
at the time, people lived inside, what is left is only the main buildings...





Humayun Darwaza

Baoli - is a steps well, you just walk down to pick up you water

This is the library where Humayun died. The story tells he was at the top and felt when in a hurry tried to go down the steps, he broke his skull...
Traditionally the kings prepared their death and built themselves a tomb. Humayum is the only one whose tomb was built by his wife. Apparently it is a stunning place... is on the to do list!



Qalaikuhna or the Mosque



And not to far from there the Mazar Sarif (Sufi temple)
it's a very popular temple


When people ask for a wish and the wish comes true they come back with a present, that present is brought to the temple on this pot/vase, that now decorate all the trees around. The pictures does not do it justice, is a very pretty sight
