The Red Fort

An old fort in Delhi, this was historically the main residence of the Mughal emperors. Construction on the fort began in 1639, and it’s thought that the architect who designed it also constructed the Taj Mahal. Most of the fort was sadly demolished after the Indian Rebellion in 1857, although the artwork and jewels had already been taken in 1739.

These days, the Indian Prime Minister raises the Indian flag at the main gate and gives a speech as part of the celebrations of India’s Independence.
