Adilabad Fort

Adilabad Fort 

Adilabad Fort was built by Muhammad Bin Tughlaq second ruler of Tughlaq dynasty. Adilabad Fort derived name from sobriquet of Muhammad Bin Tughlaq i.e. Adil. The fort is the forth fort in Delhi, others being Red Fort, Old Fort, Tughlaqabad. It's just small replica of Tughlaqabad Fort which were built by Adil's father Ghayasuddin Tughlaq the first ruler of Tughlaq dynasty. 

The fort is built in opposite fortress area of  Tughlaqabad Fort. Earlier both forts connected by causeway in between canal and lake.
Remaining ruins of the fort depicts its glory. Having two strong entry gates, bastions and triangular arches on walls, sloping walls, outer boundary walls, made it extremely difficult for Mangol enemies to conquer.

The sole objective of constructing this fort by Muhammad Bin Tughlaq could have been to establish his own monument to register his name in history.

Fort is opens at 9:30 am and closed at 6:00 pm. And there won't be any entry charges by administration. It takes around 2 hour to complete the visit. Best place of photography.


One must enjoy the glory of heritage in walk.
