Delhi was the capital of the Mughal Empire from 1526, while the prince Babur defeated (after several years of fighting) the last Sultan of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodi. It remained so until 1707, the year of the defeat at the hands of the Mughals Marathas (after 27 years of war). The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (owner of the Taj Mahal and Red Fort in Agra) is built remarkable monuments. You can still visit the Jama Masjid, the main mosque of Old Delhi, built between 1644 and 1656. This magnificent building is the largest mosque in India and can accommodate up to 25,000 people. Its two minarets are 40 meters high, the court some 90 square meters per side and 3 domes covered with black and white marble houses the prayer hall.
We went there on a Saturday morning while crossing the first rickshaw in crowded alleys of the old city, around Chandni Chowk. It is a busy commercial sector and it is better to go early if you want to move somewhat freely. There is much to see and everything is rather chaotic course. The opposite of the British planning for the new Delhi located nearby.

The other important monument of Delhi is the Red Fort or palace fort of Shahjahanabad (Lal Qil'ah). This imposing fortress of red sandstone (hence its name) overlooks the old city and was built by Shah Jahan in 1639. Located on the banks of Yamuna, it was a symbol of imperial power. The set includes the hall of audience (Diwan-i-Am, with a throne inspired by that of Solomon), a Turkish bath, harem (zenana), mosque and private apartments of the emperor. They are housed in a series of flags crossed by a channel (Stream of Paradise), whose architecture is a fusion of Islamic traditions, Persian, Timurid and Hindu. The garden design is careful and has influenced several other projects in Delhi, Agra and Rajasthan neighbor. The presence of water (ponds and fountains) is particularly important in the Mughal Garden. Unfortunately water bodies and fountains were dry during our visit. The absence of this element severely impedes the enjoyment of the composition. It is unfortunate that a rehabilitation effort is not made in this direction on this World Heritage Site (UNESCO). The fort was later occupied by the British Army from 1857 until independence, then by the Indian Army until 2003. Some of its structures were modified considerably. Opposite Red Fort you will notice a vast Hindu temple (or more precisely Jain) the characteristic architecture. To leave the old town we have experienced Metro is very modern and comfortable (the cars are manufactured in Japan), which includes some 59 stations and 65 km of underground track. He is also currently expanding. Here one sees the Patel Chowk station.
