Purana Qila, the Old Fort, is one of Delhi's oldest fortifications, its imposing gateways and ramparts built by Humayun and Sher Shah Suri over layers of far older settlement. Walk the walls, visit the Sher Mandal library-tower, and see the on-site archaeological museum, with a paddle-boat lake outside. It is spread out and sunny, so bring water and go in cooler hours.
