The name comes from the massive red sandstone walls, some up to 110 feet high, which surround this magnificent piece of Mughal architecture. The palace is made of white marble and decorated in gold and precious stones. Shah Jahan's throne lay in the middle of the palace, and on the ceiling above was written in gold lettering "If there is a paradise on earth, it is this, it is this, it is this." The Red Fort is one of the most magnificent palaces in the world. India's history is also closely linked with Red Fort.
