Jahanpanah - the ruins of an ancient city on the territory of modern Delhi , one of the Seven historic cities of Delhi, founded in 1326 - 1327 by Sultan Muhammad bin Tuglak. The fortified city was built to protect against the constant attacks of the Mongols, it swallowed the fort of Adilabad of the 14th century and stretched from Kila-Rui-Pitor to Fort Seri. Very little is left from the city to our days. One reason for this is the idiosyncratic rule of Muhammad bin Tuglak, who transferred the capital to Daulatabad on the Dean Plateau, and then again in Delhi [1] [2] [3] .
The ruins of the city can now be seen on the road between Fort Siri and Qutb Minar in South Delhi , some sections have also been preserved on the territory of the Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, the Khirki Masjid mosque, Satpula and other places. In certain areas, food and ammunition storage facilities have been preserved.
