The 13 meter high sandstone obelisk with Ashoka's edict stands testimony to the history of this old city. Ferozabad, the fifth city of Delhi, was erected by Feroz Shah Tughlaq in 1354 and can be found at Feroz Shah Kotla, just off Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg between Old and New Delhi. Also seen, are the remains of a mosque and a well, but most of the ruins were used for the construction of later cities. Feroz Shah was a great builder and so, this fifth city of Delhi was full of splendid palaces, mosques and gardens. The Tughlaqabad area was woefully short of water and this made the Tomars move westward to Mehrauli. Firoz Shah, Muhammad Tughlaq's successor, solved this problem by building his new city on the banks of Yamuna. Kotla was the inner citadel of Firozabad, built like Windsor, with great palaces and a magnificent mosque.
