In the 14th century it was capital of Gujarat Sultanate after the collapse of the Delhi Sultanate. Some of the prominent structures and architectural marvel here are:

Nice pictures. Well taken
India is so full of history. Every state, every town has story to tell. It gives me goosebumps that I may be standing on a place that had witnessed human laughter, sadness, tears and happiness only a few hundred years before.
