The local name is Lal Quilla . This fort was built at time of Mugual Architecture. The Red fort can be entered from both sides the Lahore and the Delhi gates. The Red Fort in Delhi was built by Shah Jahan between 1638 and 1648. The Lal Quilla has witnessed the extravagant life styles of the royal families. The walls of the Red fort are about 2 kilometers in length. It is really good place to visit and see how the ancient buildings are built.
