Old Delhi was the capital of Muslim India between the 17th through 19th centuries, and is a city filled with mosques, monuments and forts. New Delhi was created by the British as the capital of India. In 1911, Sir Edwin Lutyens, the most renowned English architect of the day, was chosen to design this new city. Lutyens’s creation incorporated architectural conceptions from the Mogul and Hindu sensibilities. Today, the fused metropolis forms the centerpoint of the world’s second-largest metropolitan area.
