Lalbagh Fort( লালবাগের কেল্লা )

The fort of Lalbagh is one of the notable historic monuments. It is situated at the south west end of the current Old Dhaka near the Buriganga river. The construction of this fort began 1678 during Dhaka's Subedar by Shahjada Mohammad Azam, son of Mughal Emperor Aurangazeb. 

He could not finish his work because he had to leave Dhaka. So it remained incomplete. There are two entrance paths at the north and south sides of the fort. At the south entrance there are many secret tunnels to exit. There is a court hall named 'Diwan-e-Aam', three domed mosque and a pond inside the fort. There is also the tomb of Pori Bibi, daughter of Shayestha Khan. The specialty of the Lalbagh fort is that it is completely made of bricks. There are high brick walls around it. There is an open space in the center of the fort. The Mughal rulers used to live in beautiful tents in the open space. There is a small two-storied palace. It has been made a museum now.
