A Sur Mosque In A Mughal Fort
Qila-i-Kuhna Mosque meaning Mosque of the Old Fort is a single-domed mosque located inside the Purana Qila in Delhi. The Tarikh-i-Sher Shahi by Abbas Sarwani, says that the mosque was built by Sher Shah Suri built in 1540. Some historians believe that the mosque was originally built by Humayun and its upper part which includes its dome, was built by Sher Shah Suri. However, The architectural work inside the mosque neither matches Sur nor Humayun's work. Some of the similar work can be found in the tomb of Ibrahim Khan Sur built by Sher Shah Suri but the use of geometric works on its marble wasn't famous at that time and was probably added later by Akbar.
