FEROZABAD Brings Stability

Feroz Shah Tughlaq (1351-1388 AD) created the next city of Ferozabad, or Feroz Shah Kotla.


It was a well-planned city with palaces, mosques, pillared halls, and multi-floored water tanks. Feroz Shah also transplanted the Ashokan Pillar, from Meerut to the top of his palace.

The Sayyid and Lodhi dynasties that followed the Tughlak dynasty were far more concerned with restoring stability than patronization of arts or architecture.

Tombs erected in the honor of the rulers are the tombs at the Lodi Garden.
