Ajmal Mohamed M
The Delhi Fort also known as Lal Qil'ah, or Lal Qila, meaning the Red Fort, located in Delhi, India and became a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.

The Red Fort and the city of Shahjahanabad was constructed by the Emperor Shah Jahan in 1639 A.D. The layout of the Red Fort was organised to retain and integrate this site with the Salimgarh Fort. The fortress palace is an important focal point of the medieval city of Shahjahanabad. The planning and aesthetics of the Red Fort represent the zenith of Mughal creativity which prevailed during the reign of Emperor Shahjahan. This Fort has had many developments added on after its construction by Emperor Shahjahan. The significant phases of development were under Aurangzeb and later Mughal rulers. Important physical changes were carried out in the overall settings of the site after the First War of Independence during British Rule in 1857. After Independence, the site experienced a few changes in terms of addition/alteration to the structures. During the British period the Fort was mainly used as a cantonment and even after Independence, a significant part of the Fort remained under the control of the Army until the year 2003.

"The Red Fort and the city of Shahjahanabad was constructed by the Emperor Shah Jahan in 1639 A.D"

As for those who actually built it, most likely his subjects and slave labor.

Well,the records say it was constructed by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.
But,there are myths about it being constructed by one of the Chauhan Rajput kings . It was called Lal Kot (meaning Red Fort) and was later occupied by the Mughals and reconstructed to the form of today's red fort.
