Archaeological site associated with 5th city of Delhi founded by Firoz Shah Tuglaq.

One of many pillars of Ashoka was moved here from Topra Kalan in Pong Ghati, Haryana under orders of Firoz Shah Tughlaq of Delhi Sultanate. The 13.1 meters high column, made of polished sandstone and dating from the 3rd century BC.

Ashokan Pillar, an ancient monolithic pillar with inscriptions from the Mauryan era. This pillar, transported to the fort centuries ago, adds an intriguing layer of historical significance to the site. Firuz Shah Kotla Fort, situated in the heart of Delhi, unfolds a chapter of history often overlooked by the bustling modern city. This ancient fortress, commissioned by Sultan Firuz Shah Tughlaq in the 14th century, stands as a testament to Delhi's rich and varied historical tapestry. The fort, although not as well-preserved as some of Delhi's other landmarks, exudes a certain charm that attracts history enthusiasts and curious tourists alike. The sprawling grounds, dotted with remnants of once-grand structures, provide a glimpse into the architectural prowess of the Tughlaq dynasty.

Almost wiped out from this planet. But Ashoka's inscriptions are still legible! Wondering what on earth the magnificent pillar was uprooted and brought back from far Ambala, by another insane Muslim invader!!! On purpose don't want to name him.
