Tughlaqabad Fort

Delhi, Delhi, India

Overview

The colossal 1321 stone citadel of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq — cyclopean sloping ramparts, cursed by a saint to lie 'inhabited by shepherds', and largely so still.

Why visit: Delhi's most massive, atmospheric ruin — bring water and imagination.

History: Built in four years; the fakir Nizamuddin's curse is said to have doomed it.
