Feroz Shah Kotla Fort
Kotla is just the name which people of this city call the historic monument built by the Sultan Feroz Shah Kotla to mold the city in his vision of Firozabad. The fortress is an amazement to behold with its polished sandstone Topra Ashokan pillar that stands tall within the fortress. It was actually one of the multiple pillars which are still left standing that was once built by the Mauryan Emperor. The obelisk is full of inscriptions as the original ones are in the Brahmi script along with some Sanskrit and Pali inscriptions which were added on much later. Apart from the pillar, there is also the Jami Masjid, a huge garden complex as well as baoli. What one can see of the fortress nowadays is just some ruins of what was once a proud fortress that was destroyed by continued warfare between the emperors.Timings: Open all days of the week from Sunday to Tuesday from 6:00 am to 6:00 PM.
Entry Fee: For SAARC members and Indian citizens, the fee is RS 15 but for foreign nationals, it’s Rs 100. Children below 15 don’t need to pay.
