Salimgarh Fort (Hindi: सलिमगर खिला Urdu: سلیم گڑھ ،literally Salim’s Fort) was built in 1546 AD in Delhi in a former island of the Yamuna River by Salim Shah Suri son of Sher Shah Suri. There was a pause in Mughal rule when in 1540 AD Sher Shah Suri defeated the Mughal Emperor Humayun (and ousted him from Delhi) and established the Sur dynasty rule in Delhi. Sur dynasty rule lasted till 1555 AD when Humayun regained his kingdom by defeating Sikander Suri the last ruler of the dynasty.
