If you’d want to know in detail, Old Delhi is a city built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in between 1638 - 1648 and served as the capital of the Mughals till 1857 when their reign ended.
Old delhi was a 12 gated walled city build in sandstone and marble. Ustad Ahmad Lahauri, the architect of Taj mahal designed this beautiful city.
Old Delhi houses a lot of monuments which are of great importance both historically and culturally. Its from the ramparts of Red Fort that the Prime minister of India unfurls the tiranga(Tricolor) every independence day. Jama Masjid one of the largest mosques in the sub-continent is in Old Delhi. Ghalib the greatest poet in Urdu lived here.
Today Old Delhi is symbol of the bygone era. It once had huge mansions in which affluent and aristocrats lived , very few are in a liveable condition now.
