    Purana Qila (Hindi: पुराना क़िला, Urdu: پُرانا قلعہ, "Old Fort") is possibly the oldest fortification in Delhi. Within its walls, archaeologists discovered the oldest known building remains of any kind in Delhi, leading to the site often being identified with Indraprastha, the city mentioned in the Mahabharata, although there is no archaeological evidence to support this identification. The present-day structure dates essentially back to the 16th century, when it was developed as a dinpanah or shergarh, and is counted as the sixth city in the list of the "seven cities of Delhi," a list coined by colonial-era historians.
