Hisar is located at 2905ࢀ&#-2571;ࢀ&#-2258;orth latitude and 75045ࢀ&#-2571;5ࢀ&#-2336;east longitudes. It is situated one hundred sixty four kilometers west to Delhi on the National Highway number ten.
The city of Hisar was founded by a Muslim ruler, Firozshah Tughlaq in 1354 A.D. ࢀ&#-2616;isarࢀ&#-2592;is an Arabic word which means ࢀ&#-2618;ortࢀ&#-2578; The city, which we know today as ࢀ&#-2616;isarࢀ&#-2580; was originally called ࢀ&#-2616;isar Firoza (also Hisar-e-Firoza) or in other words the ࢀ&#-2618;ort of Firozࢀ&#-2578; But as the days rolled by, the very word ࢀ&#-2618;irozaࢀ&#-2592;was dropped from its original name.
It was in these lands that the very first evidence of the presence of man was discovered with the excavation of Agroha, Banawali and Kunal. All of these were the pre-Harappan settlements, bringing for us the very first images of pre-Historic times. The presence of the pillar in Hisar fort belonging to the time of Emperor Ashoka (234 A.D.) originally from Agroha, the discovery of coins of the Kushan Kings tells tales of ancient India.
The construction work of the Hisar city was started in the year 1354 A.D. under the personal supervision of Firozshah himself who stayed here for a sufficient time. The boundary wall of Hisar Firoza was built up of stones brought from the hills of Narsai. The Fort city was also surrounded by big ditch dug round the wall. A large and deep tank was constructed inside the fort, and the water used to replenish the ditch. Inside the fort a fine palace, having a complex of different buildings was built. Well laid out gardens added to the beauty of the palace. The initial stage of the city, it was reported, was completed after the incessant work of two and a half years.
The nobles and Amirs were also directed by the Sultan to get the residences built here. The buildings were constructed with lime and burnt bricks. The fort-city had four gates which were subsequently named as the Delhi Gate and Mori Gate to the east, the Nagori Gate to the south and Talaqi Gate to the west.
While constructing the palace, popularly known as ࢀ&#-2617;ujari Mahalࢀ&#-2592;for his beloved, Firozshah also built a new city around it. The Gujari Mahal still stands in its austere majesty. This palace is a complex of different buildings, including the royal residence of the sultan Firozshah, Shahi Darwaza, Diwan-e-Aam, Baradari with three tehkhanas, a Hamam, a Mosque and a
