Hauz Khas Complex
The Hauz Khas Complex includes a 13th-century water reservoir built by Sultan Alauddin Khilji, along with a madrasa (Islamic school), tombs, and a mosque built later by Firoz Shah Tughlaq around the tank's edge. The ruins are unusually well integrated with their setting, overlooking the reservoir and surrounded by trees, giving it a scenic, contemplative quality beyond its historical value.
It sits directly adjacent to Hauz Khas Village, now a trendy area of cafes, boutiques, and art galleries, and to Deer Park, so it's easy to combine a historical visit with a more contemporary south Delhi outing in the same trip.
