Rohtas Fort, Pakistan

ROHTAS FORT (Pakistan)

The 16th-century Rohtas Fort is located near Jhelum in Punjab province. Never taken by force, and remarkably intact, it is one of the largest and most formidable in the subcontinent. Built by the founder of the Suri Empire partly to suppress local tribes loyal to the Mughals, it is known for its large walls and monumental gateways, an exceptional example of Muslim military architecture.
