Hajiganj Fort, Mughal military fort in Narayanganj, Bangladesh
The fort features a quadrangular layout with a pentagonal curtain wall and rounded corner bastions positioned on the western bank of Shitalakshya River.
Between 1610 and 1650, during the Mughal period, this defensive structure was constructed to protect against Magh and Portuguese pirates sailing up the river.
The fort's architecture incorporates traditional Mughal military design elements, including musketry holes, rampart walkways, and a decorative lotus finial gateway.
Visitors can access the fort by taking a BRTC bus from Gulistan to Chashara in Narayanganj, followed by a short rickshaw ride to the site.
The fort contains a tall, free-standing square brick column that functioned as both an observation point and elevated platform for cannon placement during rainy seasons.
