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.
