Lalbagh Fort - Info and Facts
Located in Old Dhaka, the Lalbagh Fort was built in the
17thcentury by the then Viceroy of Bengal, Prince Mohammad Azam, son of Mughal emperor
Aurangzeb.
A three-domed giant mosque with a water tank in front, a beautifully
constructed tomb known as the Tomb of Bibi Pari (daughter of the Prince’s successor, Shaista
Khan), and a hammam (Turkish bath) are the main components of the fort, which features a unique
architectural style and intricate design.
The bathing palace, now a museum, exhibits various artifacts from the Mughal
period.
Another fascinating feature of the
Lalbagh Fort is a maze of hidden passages and tunnels, and billets (military
barracks) for soldiers, which, for safety reasons, are not open to the public.
