About this place
Ahmedabad Central Zone is the historic core of the bustling metropolitan city of Ahmedabad, encompassing the neighborhoods of Shahpur, Dariapur, Jamalpur, Khadia, Asarwa, and Shahibaug. At its heart lies the old walled city, founded by Sultan Ahmed Shah I in 1411, which was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2018.
Today, this area remains the symbolic and cultural center of Ahmedabad, though it has grown extremely crowded and dilapidated over the centuries. Visitors can explore the historic entrances to the walled city, known as Darwajas, each with unique names, histories, and beautiful carvings, calligraphy, and even balconies. The surrounding localities have adopted the names of these gates, preserving a living connection to the city's rich past.
