Close to the Old Fort is a pond, which has a motor boating and paddle-boating facility. This lake is bounded by a garden with rows of trees and flowering plants. Inside the fort too there are well grafted and maintained lawns, which add to the greenery in the fort.

The Purana Quila was the citadel of the city of Dinpanah, Refuge of the Faithful. It was started by Humayun in 1533 AD and completed five years later. When the Afghan King Sher Shah Suri beaten Humayun, he renamed the fort as Shergarh. Sher shah is also credited with adding many more buildings in the complex. There are three entrances to the Purana Qila out of which only one leftovers open and is used as the entrance these days. It is called the Bara Darwaza. The south gate is called the Humayun Gate probably because it was constructed by Humayun or Humayun's Tomb is visible from there. The third gate is known as the Talaqi Gate.
