Firoz Shah palace complex (Hisar-e-Firoza) is an archaeological complex located in modern-day Hisar, in the Haryana state of India, built by Firoz Shah Tughlaq of the Delhi Sultanate in 1354 AD.[1] It is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India.[2]

The original town of Hisar was a walled settlement inside of the fort. The Jahaj Kothi Museum, a past residence of George Thomas, sits inside the Firoz Shah palace complex. The complex contains the Lat ki Masjid mosque and an Ashokan pillar.[3] Gurjari Mahal, another palace nearby, was also built by Firoz Shah for his wife Gurjari in 1356.[4]
