Madrasa Ghaziuddin Khan
By Seeker
Madrasa Ghaziuddin Khan, established in 1696 by Ghaziuddin Khan I near Ajmeri Gate in Old Delhi, is a significant historical complex and one of the few surviving madrasas from the Mughal era. Originally serving as an educational institution, it has transitioned through various uses, including housing Delhi College and the Anglo-Arabic school, and currently operates as Zakir Husain Delhi College. The architecture reflects later Mughal styles with Central Asian influences, featuring a symmetrical courtyard, a mosque with three domes, and the tomb of Ghaziuddin Khan. This site not only showcases the rich educational heritage of Delhi but also offers insights into Mughal architectural design, making it a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers alike.
