A large public park of 36 hectares in New Delhi, its lawns and trees dotted with tombs and buildings from the late Delhi Sultanate, the Sayyid and Lodi dynasties of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, protected by the Archaeological Survey of India. Its landmarks include the octagonal tomb of Muhammad Shah, the tomb of Sikandar Lodi, the Bara Gumbad («big dome») and the Shisha Gumbad («glass dome»), once decorated with glazed coloured tiles, plus an old stone bridge over a small lake. It is one of Delhi's calmest spots, where locals come for morning walks and exercise; many kinds of birds live here, and it is ringed by upmarket neighbourhoods and the cafés of nearby Khan Market. Entry is free and it opens daily from early morning into the evening, per visitor guides. It is a short distance from Safdarjung's Tomb, so the two combine easily.
