Lalbagh Fort

Lalbagh Fort (also known as "Fort Aurangabad") right in the middle of Dhaka, Bangladesh, was established in the 17th century by the Mughal Subehdar (governor) Shayesta Khan by the banks of the Buriganga River. It was a bastion of Mughal soldiers to operate against frequent rebellions across Bengal. During the 1857 Sepoy Rebellion the first Indian uprising against the British, Indian soldiers in this fort rebelled as well. It's now preserved well enough, and renovated to a large extent.

The fort was long considered to be a combination of three buildings:
• the mosque;
• the tomb of Bibi Pari; and
• the Diwan-i-Aam, comprising two gateways and a portion of the partly damaged fortification wall
In the present fort area of 18 acres (73,000 m²), excavations have revealed the remains of either 26 or 27 structures, with elaborate arrangements for water supply, sewerage, roof gardens, and fountains. Renovation work by the Archaeology Department has now put Lalbagh Fort in a much-improved shape, and it has now become an interesting spot for tourists and visitors.

When I first visit in Lalbagh Fort I am lost myself totally. I’ve never seen this type of beautiful scenery in my life. Lalbagh Fort, there are lots of thing you can see there. Everything is well-controlled by management. The place is so neat and clean. Actually I enjoy myself too much with my friend circle.

Any one can go this beautiful place and enjoy yourself in own way. This is not a bad place that you can bore. I just say every people to go this beautiful place and sea a historical place and try to know about it. If a foreigner can see this type of place in Bangladesh I think we the people of our country must see it.
