Of the great historic Cities of the world, only Rome & Cairo can even begin to rival Delhi for the sheer volume, beauty and density of historic remains and we shall start where it all began. Mehrauli prima facie is the "First City of Delhi" since it has the oldest remains in terms of Monuments dating back to the 9th century and has seen additions to it at the turn of every century, whether it be the ramparts of Lal Kot built in the 9th Century, or the Delhi Sultanate Architecture or the later additions by the Mughals or as late as the British Architectural Imprints. We shall be around the Qutub Minar complex and decipher why and after whom its named so, head over to the Mehrauli Archeological Park which in itself has a few centuries of History and over 50 monuments to boast of, and if time permits head into the gullies which have many monuments hidden in the lanes co-existing with its 21st century Inhabitants.
