Purana Quila is one the oldest fort in Delhi. The Purana Quila was built by Humayun in an attempt to build a city of his own. The interesting fact about Purana Quila is that the quila ia carried out two timws. One in 1954-1955 by ASI(Archaeological Survey of India) and again in 1969-1973 by BB Lal. The three gates are double storied and built with red sandstone. The Humayun Darwaza and the Bara Darwaza were the two gates that were open for entry inside the old fort. Entry was prohibited through the Talaqi Darwaza as the name suggests.Talaqi means ‘forbidden'.
