    If you're visiting Delhi, you can see the remnants of the Delhi fortress near kashmiri gate, all the way to old delhi and chandni chowk. The area is very crowded but the food is incredible. Highly recommend checking out Karim's restaurant, which is in front of Jama mosque for some authentic Mughal cuisine. In southern Delhi, you can see the Qutub minar (tower), which stands from the times of the Delhi sultanate. Another popular spot is Hauz khas, which has remnants of a complex which dates to the Khiljis. Even older complexes can be found in Indraprastha.

      Lastly, Vatican is not important for Christians. It's only for Roman Catholics.
      Orthodox Christians (who make 20% of Christians) and Protestants (who make 40% of Christians) have nothing to do with Vatican.
      But yeah, if you want to relate on the importance on a Holy Place for Christians, then it has to be "the Church of Holy Sepulchure" or even "the Church of Nativity" which are significant for almost all Christians in the world irrespective of their denominations.
      The Crusades started only when the Fatimid Caliph Billah burned the Church of Holy Sepulchure that led to the Christian-Muslim fights in The Holy Land.
      I am very distraught with hearing that even Kashi Temple was pillaged. I never knew about that.
      Is there any fund or organisation that I can donate to rebuild it? I'll do my contribution.
      Thanks.

    Qutb ud Din Aibak is buried outside Lohari gate in Lahore. He did not have a grand grave until the 1970's when the premier of the time heard that Aibak did not have a tomb and sought to remedy that. His tomb is a simple one that does not do the man justice but is better than a simple grave.
