Kotla Firoz Shah, also called Firoz Shah Kotla, was built around 1354 by Sultan Firoz Shah Tughlaq as the citadel of Firozabad, the fifth city of Delhi, laid out on the banks of the Yamuna in response to water shortages in the older parts of the city. The large walled enclosure once contained palaces, pillared halls, mosques, a pigeon tower and a baoli (stepwell), several of which survive in reasonable condition today.
The complex's main public mosque, the Jami Masjid, has a spacious courtyard and rests on a series of cells in a pyramidal structure with a diminishing covered area at each successive storey. Atop this structure stands a polished sandstone pillar of the Mauryan emperor Ashoka, dating to the 3rd century BC, which Firoz Shah Tughlaq had transported from Topra Kalan in present-day Haryana and re-erected here in 1356, making it one of the oldest inscribed monuments preserved within a later Islamic citadel anywhere in India.
