The surrounding archaeological area contains funerary buildings, notably the magnificent Alai-Darwaza Gate, the masterpiece of Indo-Muslim art (built in 1311), and two mosques, including the Quwwatu'l-Islam, the oldest in northern India, built of materials reused from some 20 Brahman temples.

The Purana Quila, or Old Fort, stands as a testament to Delhi's rich and tumultuous history. Nestled within its fortified walls lies a treasure trove of architectural marvels, each telling a unique tale of the city's past. Among these architectural gems is a magnificent gateway, its intricate details and towering structure captivating the imagination of visitors from around the world.\n\nThis gateway, though often overshadowed by the more famous Red Fort, is a masterpiece of Mughal architecture. Its design is a harmonious blend of Persian and Indian styles, reflecting the cosmopolitan nature of the Mughal empire. The towering dome, a symbol of Mughal power and authority, rises majestically above the surrounding structures. Its intricate carvings, adorned with floral motifs and geometric patterns, showcase the exquisite craftsmanship of the artisans who created it.\n\nThe gateway's exterior is a testament to the passage of time. The weathered stone, marked by the elements, tells a story of centuries of resilience and endurance. The cracks and fissures that have developed over the years add to its character, lending it a sense of authenticity and history. Yet, despite the ravages of time, the gateway's beauty remains undiminished.
