The Hauz Khas Fort is part of the historic Hauz Khas Complex in South Delhi and is one of the most important monuments from the Delhi Sultanate period.
History
Built in the 13th century: The area was developed during the reign of Sultan Alauddin Khalji (1296–1316). He constructed a massive reservoir called Hauz-i-Alai to supply water to Siri, his newly established fortified city. The name "Hauz Khas" comes from Persian, where Hauz means "water tank" and Khas means "royal," meaning "Royal Tank."
Shahjahanabad Redevelopment Corporation +1
Restoration by Firoz Shah Tughlaq: By the 14th century, the reservoir had become silted. Sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq (1351–1388) restored the tank and built several impressive structures around it, including-
A grand madrasa (Islamic college)
A mosque
His own tomb
Pavilions overlooking the lake
