Firoz Shah Palace Complex

Firoz Shah Palace Complex is a 14th-century historic palace and fort complex located in Hisar, Haryana. Built in 1354 by Sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq when he founded the city of Hisar-e-Firoza, it comprises ruined palaces, courtyards, the Lat ki Masjid, Diwan-e-Aam, underground chambers and a Lat pillar. Noted for its Tughlaq-era architecture using rubble masonry, the ASI-protected complex offers insight into medieval Indo-Islamic design and remains a key heritage attraction in Hisar.

Visitors can explore a large open complex of ruined sandstone and rubble-masonry structures including palace remains, courtyards, arched corridors, underground apartments (tehkhana), Diwan-e-Aam, and the Lat ki Masjid with its adjacent Lat pillar. The site is largely roofless and spread across lawns and pathways within fort walls, offering views of historic architecture, carved pillars, and open grounds suitable for sightseeing, photography and heritage walks.

Built in 1354 by Sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq, founder of Hisar-e-Firoza (present Hisar), the complex served as a royal palace, fort and administrative centre of the Tughlaq dynasty. It includes structures like Lat ki Masjid and Diwan-e-Aam and incorporates a Lat pillar. The site is protected by the Archaeological Survey of India and represents Tughlaq architecture and 14th-century urban planning.

The complex is a notable example of Tughlaq-era Indo-Islamic architecture and a symbol of Hisar's medieval heritage. It houses the Lat ki Masjid, reflecting the religious and architectural traditions of the period, and remains an important cultural and educational site for understanding the history of Haryana.
