Delhi is one of the most historic capital cities in the world with three World Heritage monuments, the Qutub Minar, the Red Fort and Humayun's Tomb.

Delhi is a city split into two, Old Delhi and New Delhi. Old Delhi was the capital of Moghul India between the 17th and 19th centuries. Here there are dense, crowded streets and a bustling jumble of shops with goldsmiths, silversmiths and silk traders. There are temples, mosques and forts, the heritage of the Moghul Empire, all within the 17th-century walled city of Shahjahanabad.

New Delhi, by contrast, was built and established by the British. The wide streets are lined with trees and there are parks and fountains. Here are the embassies set in immaculate grounds, houses with beautiful gardens and the impressive government buildings.

Qutab Minar and its Monuments are together in a park. Qutab Minar is a magnificent sandstone tower that stands 239ft high. The foundation was laid in 1199 and it is the highest stone tower in India.

Humayun's tomb was the first garden tomb in India and is based on the Islamic paradise gardens. The tomb was built in 1562 by Humayun's widow and was designed and constructed by a Persian architect.

Itimad Ud Daulah's Tomb also known as the 'baby Taj' stands on the banks of the Yamuna River. This beautiful tomb was built around 1625 AD and has many features that were later incorporated into the construction of the Taj Mahal.

Jama Masjid the Friday mosque was built in 1656 by Emperor Shah Jahan. It is one of the largest mosques in India and the principal mosque of Old Delhi.
