What to see and how to plan

Look beyond the enclosing red walls to the sequence of pavilions and the water-channel planning of the royal apartments. The site rewards attention to how buildings, gardens and ceremonial spaces connect.

Why this place matters

Shah Jahan's palace complex combines Persian, Timurid and Indian architectural traditions and stands alongside the older Salimgarh fort.
