The Walled City of Shahjahanabad

Echoes from the Walled City

Delhi

“Shahjahanabad, the historic walled city of Delhi, was founded in 1639 CE by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as the new capital of his territory. Designed along the Yamuna River, it became a thriving centre of culture, trade, and politics. Enclosed by massive walls with imposing gates, the city featured grand structures like the Red Fort and Jama Masjid. Its bustling bazaars, including Chandni Chowk, reflected the Mughal era’s opulence. Shahjahanabad remained the Mughal capital until the British shifted their seat of power to Calcutta in 1857, but its rich heritage continues to shape Delhi’s cultural and architectural landscape.”
