Other rulers (Babar, Akbar, Shah Jahan, Jahangir, Qutub ud din, Illtutmish) Not primarily credited with the construction of the current Purana Quila structure. The name "Purana Quila" literally means "Old Fort". Notable structures within the fort include the Qila-i-Kuhna Mosque and the Sher Mandal, believed to be Sher Shah's library, where Humayun later had a fatal accident. Archaeological excavations at the site have revealed layers of history going back much further than the 16th century, supporting the idea of its long occupation.
