Delhi is much more than just the capital of India. It is a city with an amazing history. So many times, it has been the major city or capital of India, from the earliest Mahabharata days to the Rajputs to the Delhi Sultanate to the Mughals to the British. Each time the new rulers left their mark on the city. As a result, now we have a Delhi which has the mark of at least seven or eight different historical cities, if not more.
In this book, we review the different historical cities of Delhi. We use the Delhi metro, which is currently probably the best developed metro in India, as the preferred means of transport to see the sights of the seven cities of Delhi. We hope that this short guide will help the reader the experience a little bit of what Delhi is all about, its people and its history.
In this book, we do not cover all the historical sites or attractions of Delhi, such as the many modern museums, markets and other attractions. Rather, we focus on the sites that form part of the historical cities of Delhi and those that are located within the historical boundaries of those cities.
This book was born out of many travels and exploratory walks made by the authors in Delhi, where they live.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Delhi has been conquered, rebuilt, and renamed more times than almost any city on earth. From the Pandava capital of Indraprastha to the Red Fort of the Mughals to the grand boulevards of the British, each ruler who came to Delhi left behind a city of their own - layer upon layer, dynasty upon dynasty, stone upon stone. Today, those layers survive as at least seven or eight distinct historical cities, buried within the sprawling modern metropolis.This book is your guide to finding them.Historical Cities of Delhi: Walks Using the Delhi Metro takes you through each of Delhi's historical cities - Qila Rai Pithora, Mehrauli, Siri, Jahanpanah, Tughlaqabad, Ferozabad, Sher Garh, Shahjahanabad, and New Delhi - using India's best-developed metro system as your transport backbone. Written by two authors who live in Delhi and have spent years walking these sites themselves, this is a practical, on-the-ground guide for anyone who wants to experience Delhi's history not from a distance, but up close, on foot, in the lanes and ruins where it actually happened.The book does not try to cover all of Delhi's attractions. Instead it stays focused - on the historical cities, their boundaries, their surviving monuments, and how to reach them. Each chapter covers one historical city: its history, its key sites, how to get there by metro, and a suggested walk. Whether you are a first-time visitor, a long-time resident who has never explored these places properly, or simply someone who loves history and walking, this book will open up a Delhi you may never have known existed.What you will find inside:The history of each of Delhi's seven or eight historical cities, from the 11th century Rajput fort of Qila Rai Pithora to the British-built capital of New DelhiPractical metro directions to each historical city, with walking routes from the nearest stationCoverage of major sites including Qutub Minar, Tughlaqabad Fort, Hauz Khas, Purana Qila, Humayun's Tomb, the Red Fort, Chandni Chowk, and Kartavya PathResources and tips for planning your visit, including maps, apps, and transport optionsWritten by authors who live in Delhi and know these places personallyDelhi has been called the Graveyard of Dynasties. This book helps you walk through what they left behind. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798215696033
