Aligarh Fort, Military fortress in Aligarh, India
The fort features red sandstone walls, multiple bastions, ancient gateways, and a central water tank within the fortified perimeter of the complex.
Constructed in the 16th century by Mughal ruler Sikandar Lodi, the fort served as a military stronghold and endured numerous battles through centuries.
The fort maintains deep connections with Indian independence movements, particularly during the 1857 rebellion when freedom fighters used it as a resistance point.
The fort opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the local tourism office in Aligarh.
The fort's architecture incorporates Persian military engineering principles, including advanced water collection systems and strategic defensive positions on elevated ground.
