Il '''Purana Qila''' (Antico Forte) è uno dei forti più antichi di Delhi. Il sito è stato perennemente abitato per 2,500 anni, e vi sono state rinvenute tracce della civiltà pre-Mauryana. La costruzione dell'attuale cittadella fu iniziata durante l'impero di [[Humayun]] e continuò sotto [[Sher Shah Suri]]. Il sito è spesso paragonato al sito di Indraprastha, la capitale dei regni dei [[Pandava]] narrata nel [[Mahābhārata|Mahabharata]].
