About

It is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India. The original town of Hisar was a walled settlement inside of the fort. The Jahaj Kothi Museum, a past residence of George Thomas, sits inside the Firoz Shah palace complex. The complex contains the Lat ki Masjid mosque and an Ashokan pillar. Gurjari Mahal, another palace nearby, was also built by Firoz Shah for his wife Gurjari in 1356.
