The Sandstone Seat of Shahjahanabad The Red Fort (Lal Qila) is a 17th-century Mughal fort in Old Delhi, India, completed in 1648 as the palace-fortress of Shah Jahan's new capital, Shahjahanabad. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, its massive red-sandstone walls enclose marble palaces, the Diwan-i-Aam and Diwan-i-Khas, and the Rang Mahal.
