India: Ahmadabad

On Saturday I got a postcard from India.

It shows the entrance of the Bhadra Fort in the Historic City of Ahmadabad, the walled city of Ahmedabad. Ahmedabad was founded in the 15th century as capital of the Gujarat Sultanate. It is known for its densely-packed traditional houses with characteristic features such as bird feeders, public wells and religious institutions. Today it is the fifth largest city of India and largest city of Gujarat, but lost the status of Gujarat's capital to Gandhinagar. The Historic City of Ahmadabad is since 2017 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
