Delhi is an amalgamation of many cities which were build and destroyed over many centuries as It has been ruled by many different dynasties starting from Tomar dynasty (~ 700 CE) to British rule.<\/p>\n
So, it\u2019s not a surprise that Delhi is gifted with a very rich built heritage. It has around 1200 buildings with varied degrees of heritage value right from Mauryan period to the end of British rule and it has 3 UNESCO world heritage sites.<\/p>\n
Most of the heritage sites of Delhi especially those build during the Sultanate period now lies in a region called as South Delhi. I also happen to live in South Delhi and my running route inevitably contains many historical sites. My go to place for running is a cluster of parks around Hauz Khas Village (HKV). It\u2019s around 1.5 km from my place so typically I start running from RK Puram Sector-3 which is just across the road from my place. The point where I start is near a small madrassa complex which was built on the ruins of a medieval mosque whose now only western wall is visible.<\/p>\n
