Azimganj Sarai

Azimganj Sarai is a sixteenth-century Mughal caravanserai that sits tucked away within the grounds of the National Zoological Park. This massive, square-plan structure features a courtyard measuring over one hundred meters on each side, surrounded by one hundred and eight vaulted chambers. At each of its four corners, the outer wall is marked by an elegant octagonal bastion, giving the entire complex the appearance of a fortified inn designed to accommodate travelers and merchants journeying along the historic Grand Trunk Road.
